Baghdad car bomb kills nine and wounds 13


    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb killed nine people and wounded 13 in the Bayaa district of southern Baghdad on Sunday, police said.

    The bomb exploded in a car parked on a busy commercial street in Bayaa, a mainly Shi'ite area, police said, adding the death toll could rise.

    Violence in Iraq has dropped to four-year lows, but militants still carry out bombings and other attacks almost daily.
