BAGHDAD -- A suicide truck bomb exploded on a major bridge in Baghdad
early Thursday, killing at least nine people and sending cars toppling
into the Tigris River below, police and witnesses said.

At least 23 others were injured, according to hospital officials, and that
toll was expected to rise.

Police were trying to rescue as many as 20 people whose cars plummeted
into the waters below.

The target was the al-Sarafiya bridge, which connects two northern
Baghdad neighborhoods -- Azamiyah, a mostly Sunni enclave, and Bab
al-Muazam, a mixed area.
