Four killed by bomb on Baghdad minibus

A bomb exploded on a Baghdad minibus today, killing four Iraqis and wounding two.

The bomb, hidden in a shopping bag, exploded as the minibus was being driven from central Baghdad to Kamaliyah, an eastern neighbourhood that is mostly Shiite, said police Maj. Mahir Hamad.

The four Iraqis who died and the two who were wounded were all passengers, he said.

Iraqis often pay small fares to ride privately owned minibuses around the capital.
