Baghdad suicide car bomb kills nine

A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle in a Shia majority neighbourhood of Baghdad Wednesday, killing at least nine people, an interior ministry official said. Thirty others were wounded in the explosion in the Habibiya area, near the vast district of Sadr City in northern Baghdad, the official said. A hospital official and a colonel in the Baghdad police confirmed the toll from the blast, which struck in an area where many car dealerships are found.
