Four car bombs, including at least two suicide attacks, struck in Baghdad on Thursday, said Master Sgt. Greg Kaufman, a U.S. military spokesman.
In the worst attack, an explosives-rigged car detonated near a market and cinema in the eastern New Baghdad neighborhood, killing 17 Iraqis and wounding 65, police Lt. Col. Ahmed Aboud said. The blast set fire to shops and cars and damaged a nearby apartment building
The enraged crowd turned its anger on police and journalists, beating at least two Iraqi photographers. Police and U.S. troops fired in the air to disperse the crowd, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.
