Iraq Renews State of Emergency

伊拉克延长国家紧急状态

Iraqi lawmakers have renewed the country's state of emergency for 30 more days, as new attacks killed at least five people. The state of emergency has been in effect for more than two years. Parliament voted Tuesday to extend it for another month. Security officials say at least four people were killed and 19 others wounded in two car bomb explosions in Baghdad. Police say the back-to-back explosions occurred outside west Baghdad's main hospital.

In the northern city of Kirkuk, officials say the provincial governor escaped an assassination attempt when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the official's convoy. At least one bystander was killed and more than 15 people were wounded in that attack.

伊拉克议员把国家紧急状态再延长30天。与此同时，伊拉克新爆发的冲突造成至少5人死亡。伊拉克的紧急状态已经施行了两年多。议会星期二投票，通过将紧急状态再延长一个月。保安官员说，巴格达发生两起汽车炸弹爆炸事件，4人死亡，19人受伤。警方说，接连发生的这两起爆炸事件发生在巴格达西部主要医院的外面。

另外在北方城市基尔库克，有关官员说，这个省的省长逃过了一次暗杀企图。一名自杀炸弹袭击者在省长车队附近引爆了身上的炸弹，至少有一名过路人被炸死，至少15人被炸伤。
