BAGHDAD—Iraqi officials said five people were killed in a car bomb blast in the city of Tikrit on Nov. 18, the latest security breach to rattle the country in recent weeks.
Sixteen others were wounded in the blast that set fires on both sides of a commercial street in the heart of the city, according to an Iraqi army officer, who requested anonymity in line with military regulations. Tikrit’s main hospital said it had received several patients wounded in the attack.
