Five al-Qaeda suicide bombers hit Baghdad
By Simon Freeman, Times Online (London), July 15, 2005
Suicide car bombers sent by al-Qaeda today claimed at least 20 lives - 15 civilians and five Iraqi soldiers - in a series of co-ordinated attacks spread across Baghdad today.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq immediately claimed responsibility for five of the blasts which targeted police and US Army targets and occured within a few hours.
They followed a week in which the clampdown on the insurgency has led to the arrests of at least 30 members of the terrorist group, several of whom have been linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, its leader in Iraq.
