  • Story Text: A bomb exploded outside an alcohol shop in central Baghdad on Sunday (February 28), killing one person and wounding six others, police said.
    The blast destroyed the shop in Baghdad's neighbourhood of Bataween.
    Islamic militants frequently target alcohol shop many of them owned by Christians .
    Sunni Islamist insurgent groups such as al-Qaeda have little tolerance for those who do not adhere to their severe brand of Islam, and have attacked Iraqi minorities they label crusaders, devil worshippers and infidels.
