A car bomb exploded in a busy area of central Baghdad today, killing at least three people and wounding 25.

The parked car exploded during morning rush hour on a major street near the Tigris River, close to Medical City (one of the capital’s largest hospitals), a complex of government buildings, a bus station and a busy roundabout.

The blast in the Bag al-Muadim section of the capital destroyed at least three other cars and heavily damaged shops, blowing out their windows, said police Lt. Col. Falah al-Muhammadawi.

He said at least three people were killed and 25 wounded. The injured included two policemen who were directing traffic, said al-Muhammadawi.
