Iraq violence continues as talks focus on security crackdown
Early-morning bombings - including a blast that killed six when it struck a minivan of workers in southern Baghdad - continued today as US and Iraqi officials promised a crackdown on violence and sectarian attacks.
Police Capt. Jamil Hussein said the blast occurred at about 8am (5am Irish time) in Baghdad’s violent southern neighbourhood of Dora, where bombings and shootings have become commonplace.
