BAGHDAD, Dec 25 (Reuters) - A car bomb killed at least five people and wounded eight when it exploded on a busy commercial street in a mainly Shi'ite district of Baghdad, police said. The bomb, triggered by remote control, targeted shoppers on the main street of the New Baghdad district, a police source said. Insurgents have often targeted Shi'ite strongholds in central Iraq with bombings as part of a wider sectarian conflict that threatens to spark all-out civil war and undermine a Shi'ite-led government of national unity.
