BAGHDAD, Nov 16 (NNN-NINA) – Up to six people were killed and some 30 others wounded, in a bomb explosion near an anti-government protests site, in central Iraq, an Interior Ministry source said.
A bomb, hidden under a car, detonated late at night, at a crowded area in al-Tayaran Square, just near the main stronghold of the demonstrators in Tahrir Square, in downtown Baghdad.
The attack occurred as large number of demonstrators from various areas of the capital and some neighbouring provinces converged at the nearby al-Tahrir Square, to participate in the demonstrations that have been taking place there for several weeks, demanding comprehensive reform, accountability for corruption, improvement of public services and job opportunities.– NNN-NINA
