BAGHDAD, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- In another bloody day in Iraq Saturday, a car bomb killed at least 30 people in Baghdad, and the bodies of nine men were found shot and tortured in the city.
Elsewhere in the country, an Iraqi soldier was killed in Baquba, CNN reported, and U.S. forces shot two insurgents when a patrol was attacked in Tal Afar.
About 250 people have been killed in a wave of violence that began Wednesday when a powerful bomb killed 114 men seeking work as day laborers. They were ambushed by a suicide bomber posing as a potential employer.
The car bombing occurred Saturday evening in Nahrawan, a Shiite industrial area on the eastern edge of Baghdad, destroying six cars and wounding at least 38 people. Investigators were trying to determine if it was a suicide attack or the bomb was set off remotely.
The bodies were discovered in three neighborhoods. All the men had been shot execution-style in the head.
