Car bombs kill 16 near Baghdad fuel station

BAGHDAD, Dec 5 (Reuters) Three cars bombs exploded in quick succession near a fuel station in a religiously mixed area of southern Baghdad today, killing 16 people and wounding 25, an Interior Ministry source said.

The attack in the Bayaa area was the latest of a number of multiple car bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital, including the bloodiest bombing since the US invasion, which killed more than 200 people two weeks ago.
