Iraq

Iraq blast kills 8

A CAR BOMB in Iraq has killed at least eight people and wounded 32 others. The bomb exploded outside a restaurant in Ramadi, a major city 100km west of Baghdad. Ramadi has seen some of the worst violence since the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, according to Al Jazeera. A series of explosions in Basra yesterday killed 43 people.
