BAGHDAD (AP) - Police raised the death toll in a suicide bomb attack
on a Shiite coffee shop in Baghdad to 21 on Wednesday, with 25 injured,
while gunmen killed at least one man and wounded four in an attack on a
Shiite bakery.
Tuesday's bombing in the popular gathering place in the mainly Shiite
northern suburb of Kazimiyah followed days of mortar attacks on Sunni
neighbourhoods that have killed at least 16 people. The coffee shop
attack had originally been reported as a mortar barrage, but police Lt.
Ali Muhssin said that was incorrect.
