Baghdad car bomb kills at least seven on busy avenue
A car bomb on a busy Baghdad avenue wounded 24 and killed seven civilians outside a restaurant frequented by police. The blast intensified efforts to form a unity government as Shiite leaders debated replacing Prime Minister Ibrahim al Jaafari with a fellow Dawa party member. An anonymous Saudi-backed bid and cleric Ali al Sistani’s private urging shaped the talks as U.S. officials pressed for quick government formation to quell sectarian violence. A roadside bomb elsewhere added to the day’s violence.
