Car Bomb Kills 7 People in Western Iraq's Fallujah

   VOA News 15 March 2010

   Iraqi  police  say  a  car  bomb  has exploded on a busy street in the
   western city of Fallujah, killing at least seven people and wounding a
   dozen others.
   Police  say  the bomb went off early Monday as a group of day laborers
   was gathering for work nearby.
   Fallujah  is  located  in  Anbar  province,  where  violence  has been
   relatively low since Sunni militant leaders turned against al-Qaida in
   2006 to help U.S. and Iraqi forces fight the insurgents.
   The  car  bombing  comes  as  Iraq  is  counting  votes  from  March 7
   parliamentary  elections  seen  as  a  key test of the country's young
   democracy.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
