Car Bombing in Iraq Kills Over 125

HeadlineFeb 28, 2005

In the Iraqi town of Hilla over 125 people have died in one of the deadliest car bombings since the Iraq war began almost two years ago. Scores more were injured in the blast. The car exploded outside a medical center where dozens of Iraqi seeking work had gathered outside waiting to pick up medical certificates. The head of the local hospital told Agence France Press “All the hospital’s rooms, even those used for cardiology, are filled with the wounded.” Hilla is a mainly Shiite town located 60 miles south of Baghdad.
