Car bombs in Baghdad kill 5 people
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 08 - 10 - 2007

Car bombs across Baghdad, including at least one near the Polish embassy in the Iraqi capital,
killed five people and wounded a dozen on Monday, police
said.
A 2 p.m. (11:00 GMT) blast near the Polish embassy in the
downtown Karradah district killed two persons and wounded five. All the victims were Iraqis, the police said.
The Polish Charge d'Affaires Waldemar Figaj told The
Associated Press that there had been a series of explosions
around the embassy Monday but that the closest was about
200 meters (219 yards), and that the embassy had no reason
to believe it «was targeted in any way.»
Polish Ambassador Gen. Edward Pietrzyk, was wounded when
his convoy was ambushed with roadside bombs last week in
Karradah, in an attack that also killed a Polish security
guard and two others.
Figaj said the ambassador was still being kept in an
artificial coma in a hospital in Poland, a procedure he
said was induced to alleviate pain because Pietrsyk had
sustained burns over 20 percent of his body.
Also Monday, a car bomb went off at a small popular market
near Baghdad University's technology department, killing
three civilians and wounding 11, police said. That bomb
exploded at 12:30 a.m. (9:30 GMT) in Sinaa Street, in
downtown Baghdad.
The wounded included four women and three children. The
casualties were taken to a nearby hospital.Police also said
at least six other cars parked in the area were damaged as
well by the blast.
Half an hour earlier, another parked car bomb went off
near a police checkpoint in the neighborhood of Kamaliyah in eastern Baghdad, wounding six civilians and damaging at least three cars, police said.
AP Television News footage from the market bombing showed
the mangled wreckage of the car bomb and damaged cars
surrounding it. American soldiers were also seen at the
scene and U.S. helicopters flew over the area.
