Six were killed in Baghdad by a suicide bomber after he blows up a car at an army check point in. The bombing comes after three days of attacks on Shia pilgrims in Baghdad killed more than 50 people, as reported by Barbara Surk of AP. Three US soldiers were among those killed in the attack in western Baghdad’s mainly Sunni Ghazaliya district. Eleven others were killed in bomb attacks somewhere in the capital. Attacks continue on an almost daily basis even if the violence has dropped dramatically in Iraq. Our correspondent reported that 35 people died on Wednesday when a suicide bomber wearing an explosives-filled belt struck pilgrims in Adhamiya, a Sunni district across the Tigris river from Kadhimiya, in the north of the capital. Five bombings in the Iraqi capital on Thursday killed another 11 people and brought the number of wounded to more than 400 since Tuesday, officials said. This represents an overall decrease in comparison to 2008. The second half of 2009 saw a large increase in the number of injured civilians when compared to the first half. 4,068 civilians were killed and 15,935 injured in violence in 2009, according to information provided by Iraq’s Ministry of Human Rights.
