BAGHDAD, Ramadan 22, 1435, Jul 19, 2014, SPA -- At least 27 people were killed in a wave of bombings in Baghdad on Saturday, police and medics said, in the deadliest day of attacks in the capital since an insurgency overran large parts of Iraq's north last month. In the first explosion, a suicide car bomber drove into a police checkpoint, killing nine people including seven policemen and wounding 21 people in the Abu Dsheer district in the south of the capital, the sources said, according to Reuters. Four other car bombs killed a total of 19 people: one in the Bayaa district in southwestern Baghdad, one in the western district of Jihad and two in northern Baghdad's Kadhimiya, the site of a major shrine. -- SPA 20:40 LOCAL TIME 17:40 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
