Ahead of curfew ending, bombs kill 40 in Baghdad area

Ahead of curfew ending, bombs kill 40 in Baghdad area BAGHDAD — Baghdad’s decade-old nightly curfew ended after midnight today, hours after bombs exploded in and around the Iraqi capital, killing at least 40 people in a stark warning of the dangers still ahead in this country under attack by the Islamic State group. The deadliest of Saturday’s bombings happened in the capital’s New Baghdad neighborhood, where a suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a street filled with hardware stores and a restaurant, killing 22 people, police said. “The restaurant was full of young people, children and women when the suicide bomber blew himself up,” witness Mohamed Saeed said.
