Militants blow up radio station in Baghdad again

Militants blew up an independent radio station in Baghdad on Friday, destroying the offices but causing no casualties, its director said, a day after heavily armed men killed one person and wounded two at the same station.

Karim Yousef, the acting director-general of Radio Dijla in western Al-Jamia district, told Reuters the blast occurred at around 10 pm. He said the station, the target of many previous assaults, was empty when the attack took place. A police source said the gunmen first stole equipment and then set off a bomb. (Reuters)
