BAGHDAD, Sept 21 (NNN-NINA) – At least 12 people were killed and eight others injured, on Friday, in a bomb explosion inside a minibus, in Iraq’s holy Shiite city of Karbala, an Interior Ministry official said.
The blast took place in the evening, when a bomb detonated inside a minibus, carrying passengers near the main security checkpoint, at the entrance of the city of Karbala, some 110 km south of Baghdad, the official said.
A medical source at the Karbala Health Department told local media that, at least 12 bodies had arrived at the morgue of the Karbala main hospital, and some ten people were sent for treatment from burns sustained from the explosion and the fire of the minibus.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Daesh militants, in many cases, were responsible for attacks targeting security forces and crowded areas, including markets, cafes and mosques across Iraq.– NNN-NINA
