Five hurt in Iraq blast
A roadside bomb exploded today in an Iraqi city in the Sunni Triangle, injuring five people, police said.
The bomb was placed on a road near a sports stadium in Baqouba town, and exploded during the morning rush hour, said Iraqi police Captain Mohammed Saleh.
He said five Iraqi civilians were injured.
Baqouba, which is 33 miles north-east of Baghdad, is part of the Sunni Triangle where Saddam loyalists are active, often attacking US Army patrols with roadside bombs that also kill or injure Iraqi civilians.
