BAGHDAD, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Four people were killed and 11 injured in a bomb explosion at a restaurant in Baghdad's eastern neighborhood of Sadr City on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry source said.
The incident took place in the morning when a bomb hidden in a busy popular restaurant in the Sadr City went off, killing four people and wounding 11 others, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Sadr City neighborhood is a vast slum for Shiite Iraqis located in eastern Baghdad. The area has long been a stronghold for Mahdi Army militia loyal to radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
Sporadic attacks are still common in Iraq as part of recent deterioration in security which shaped a setback to the efforts of the Iraqi government to restore normalcy in the country more than four months after the violence-torn country held parliamentary elections on March 7.
