Powerful Car Bomb Rocks Iraqi Capital
TEHRAN (FNA)- A massive car bomb attack rocked al-Sholah neighborhood, North of the Iraqi capital on Wednesday morning.
The blast was so powerful that its sound was heard in several neighborhoods.
There are yet no reports on the number of the victims of the terrorist attacks.
Many Iraqi political groups blame the US for increasing terrorist attacks in the war-torn country.
A senior member of the Shiite Sadr Movement on Sunday took the US responsible for the several bomb attacks which rocked different parts of Baghdad this week and left tens of people killed and wounded.
"The US is directly involved in today's bombings in Baghdad, and it is responsible for these blasts," Abdolreza al-Fayyaz told FNA in Baghdad on Sunday.
The remarks came after seven bomb attacks shook different parts of the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad on Sunday, with most of the blasts targeting police officers or government officials.
The attack came as the military agreement signed between Baghdad and Washington at the end of November 2008 stipulates the withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq by December 31, 2011 as a deadline.
Meantime, the US has pressed senior Iraqi officials to revise their decision on the US pullout and demand Washington to keep its troops in the country beyond their scheduled departure in the yearend.
But, Iraqi state officials as well as religious and political figures have all condemned the US attempts for extending the mission of its troops in the country.
Late in April, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced that Iraq no more needs the US forces to protect its internal security, and underlined that his government will not bow to the pressures exerted on Baghdad to accept an extended US military mission in the country.
