Four successive blasts hit the Iraqi city of Kerbala on Sunday, killing at least 16 people and wounding dozens more as they lined up outside a local government building.The first bomb ripped through a crowd of guards and civilians gathered in front of an office issuing ID cards and passports, and three other explosions went off shortly after as emergency services arrived at the site, police said.
Panicked security guards fired shots in the air to keep onlookers away after the blasts tore the front off nearby buildings and set ablaze cars parked on the street.
"I was inside my house when I heard a big explosion. When I got out I saw many people wounded and some bodies on the ground," said Mohammed Na'eim, a local resident.
A Kerbala police official said 16 people were killed and 34 more wounded while a Kerbala health department official said so far hospitals had 10 dead and another 110 wounded. Read More
