What happened m the accident?

Two simultaneous car-bomb explosions Wednesday rocked the neighborhood of the capital’s holiest Shiite Muslim shrine, killing at least seven people and wounding 27 others, police reported. One blast, from a parked car, struck aI-Zahraa Square, an intersection a half-mile from the large Kazimiyah shrine, said a police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns. The second explosion, also from an unoccupied vehicle, occurred at the Aden intersection, at the western entrance to the Kazilniysh neighborhood. The long-running series of bombings aimed at Iraq’s majority Shiite population has been blamed on Sunni extremists seeking to inflame animosities between the two sects.
