Five foreigners dead as rush hour car bomb kills 12

A CAR bomb tore through a convoy in central Baghdad yesterday, killing at least 12 people, including an American and four other foreigners.

A crowd shouted “Down with the USA!” as they danced around a charred body and burned the American flag.

The dead included three employees of Granite Services, a Florida-based subsidiary of General Electric, and two security contractors, said a GE spokeswoman.
