BAGHDAD - A car bomb exploded in the Iraqi city of Muqdadiyah, which is located in the governorate of Diyala, northeast of the capital Baghdad, which is only about 80 km. Thirteen people were killed and 35 others were injured. A report it was the satellite broadcaster Al Jazeera, without giving other details for now.
The city, 250 thousand inhabitants, is located just 20 miles from Baquba, a largely Shiite area, but where the Sunnis are counting on a substantial representation. The vehicle blew up in a store car near a police checkpoint. The explosion involved about thirty other cars that were parked near the car bomb.
A policeman said that the car with the bomb had been left at the moment by a man who walked away saying that he would return immediately. The explosion occurred about half an hour later. The police have closed both entrances to the city for the risk of a second attack.
