BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- At least 39 people were killed Saturday when a car bomb exploded as they left a Sunni mosque in Habbaniya, Iraq, an Interior Ministry official said.
Also Saturday, only hours after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced "positive results" in Baghdad security, several strong blasts were heard in the capital.
The car bomb, which occurred about 40 miles west of Baghdad, wounded 61 people outside a mosque, a school and an Iraqi police station, according to Multi-National Forces-Iraq.
Medical personnel arrived to help and coalition forces were providing security and helping take the injured to medical facilities.
Local residents told The Associated Press the imam of the mosque had spoken out against extremists.
Also, according to AP, many who live in the neighborhood are employed by Iraqi military and police forces, who are frequently the targets of militant strikes.
The vehicle exploded as worshippers left the mosque's afternoon prayers, AP reported. It was filled with stone and plaster and other building materials. After the blast, U.S. soldiers joined other rescuers who pulled survivors from the rubble, AP reported

Good health and family
