BAGHDAD: At least four people were killed and several others wounded when a suicide bomber struck a cafe in Baghdad where people had gathered after breaking their daily Ramadan fast, police said Thursday. A police source told AFP four people had been killed and 16 others wounded in the overnight bombing, including members of the security services. Iraqi municipal workers clean the site of an overnight suicide bomb attack in Baghdad's Shiite suburb of al-Shoala on May 24, 2018. AFP PhotoImages from the scene circulated on social media showed police vehicles with their bodywork damaged and windows blown out. Cafes in Iraq are particularly busy at night during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, with families and friends gathering to relax and eat before the fast re-starts at dawn.
