  • Story Text: Bomb blast wounds four near school in central Baghdad.
    Four civilians were wounded when a bomb exploded near a secondary school in central Baghdad, Iraq on Sunday (November 23), police said.
    Two guards working at the girls secondary school were among those wounded in the blast.

    "We heard a bang as we were about to enter the school but we did not know what happened we only heard screams of the students and teachers. One of the guards were wounded but we could not know if there were any other injuries after the arrival of the Iraqi soldiers to the scene," student Lisa Ahmed said.
    Violence in Iraq has fallen to levels unseen since the days after the invasion. But militants still carry out attacks.
