“A car rigged with explosives went off on Tuesday afternoon in front of a bakery near the national theatre in central Baghdad, killing three civilians and injuring seven, including four women,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq.He gave no more details.Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and Baghdad province. With a municipal population estimated at 7,000,000, it is the largest city in Iraq. It is the second largest city in the Arab world (after Cairo) and the second largest city in southwest Asia (after Tehran).Located on the Tigris River, the city dates back to at least the 8th century, and probably to pre-Islamic times.Once the center of Dar al-Islam (the abode of Islam), Baghdad has been a center of violent conflict since 2003 because of the ongoing Iraq war.Baghdad's population is a mix of Sunnis and Shiites. It is mainly divided into two sides: the west (al-Karkh) and the east (al-Rasafa).
