Bombing rocks Shia holy city in Iraq
Bombing rocks Shia holy city in Iraq

Thirteen people have been injured in a bomb blast in the holy Shia city of Karbala in central Iraq. Hospital sources say one of the injured is in a serious condition.

Witnesses say the bomb was hidden in a package left on the street in the centre of the city near the Shrine of Abbas, a revered Shia imam.

The attack is the latest on Iraq's Shia majority since the US-led invasion of Iraq ousted Saddam Hussein in April last year and came on the same day as a suicide truck bombing on the occupation headquarters in Baghdad that killed at least 25.

"Around 10 pm (1900 GMT), an explosion shook al-Abbas street, just 100 metres (yards) from the shrine," said 30-year-old witness Ibrahim Turki.
