Iraqi officials say car bomb kills 11
None
A car bomb killed 11 people when it exploded shortly after sunset Wednesday near a gathering of Shiite Muslims south of Baghdad, Iraqi officials said, the latest apparent sectarian attack in the increasingly troubled country.
Police and hospital officials said the bomb went off close to a tent where people were gathered for a religious ceremony near the town of Suwayrah, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of the Iraqi capital. They said 40 people were wounded in the blast. (AP)
