Truck Bomb Death Toll Now up to 75
Updated: June 19, 2007, 9:13 am

Tuesday's truck bomb attack on a Shiite mosque in central Baghdad has now claimed at least 75 lives, with more than 200 wounded.

The explosion took place in a commercial area, sending smoke billowing over concrete buildings.

It came two days after officials lifted a curfew aimed at preventing retaliatory violence following last week's bombing of a Shiite mosque in Samarra.

Police and hospital officials say the toll could rise as bodies are pulled from the debris.

The mosque's imam says the explosion hit worshippers as they were leaving afternoon prayers.
