The caption supplied by AP with the photo says that Abdullah was one of the people wounded when a bomb hidden in a rubbish pile near a busy restaurant in Sadr city exploded yesterday evening. It explains that at least 2 were killed and 10 wounded.

Local radio reports say the bomb was targeting a police patrol and say that 3 people have now died as a result and that 11, among them Abdullah, were seriously wounded.
