A car bomb detonated Thursday near the Imam Ali shrine in Najaf, killing 10 people and wounding 39 others, police said.
The blast took place in Tawdei Square on a road leading to a cemetery in the south-central Iraqi city -- a bastion of Shiite Islam.
But, there was also some good news from Iraq today, one of the top men, in one of the insurgent groups has been captured.
Mohammed Hila Hammad Obeidi, also known as Abu Ayman, was arrested in southern Baghdad on March 7 but the announcement was delayed pending DNA tests to verify his identity, the U.S. command said in a statement.
An unfortunate reality about this is another person will step up and take his place.
