- Story Text: Bomb blast in Basra kills at least three Iraqis.
A bomb planted on a road in the southern Iraqi city
of Basra tore a minibus apart on Tuesday (November 11),
killing at least three Iraqis inside the vehicle.
Police at the scene said three people inside the
minibus were killed in the blast on Tuesday.
They initially thought four had been killed due to the
large number of dismembered body parts at the scene.
Wisam Saber Salim, who survived the blast, said when
asked about the blast "I don't remember anything, I was
crossing the road and that's all I can remember."
Police said no British troops, who are in charge of
policing Basra, were in the area at the time of the blast
near a police checkpoint.
A British military spokeswoman said she was aware of
reports of an explosion but had no further details.
Mainly Shi'ite southern Iraq has been the scene of
fewer attacks on occupying troops than Baghdad and the
Sunni Muslim heartland around the Iraqi capital.
