BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three people were killed and around 50 others wounded in Baghdad on Saturday when soccer- loving Iraqis fired weapons into the air to celebrate their team's quarter-final victory over Vietnam in the Asian Cup.

Police said the victims had been killed and wounded in different parts of the capital.


At next year's Axis of Quagmire soccer match, remember to bring a thick umbrella.
