Reuters - A bomb hidden on a motorcycle killed eight people and wounded 13 others in the Iraqi capital’s eastern New Baghdad district on Tuesday, police said.

 

The motorcycle was parked near a popular cinema and market.

 

Violence has broadly fallen in Iraq over the past year, but bombings and shootings remain common.

 

U.S. combat troops withdrew from Iraqi urban centres last month, raising fears that Iraq’s security forces may not be able to cope alone.
