A bomb in a parked car exploded today near a busy bus station in Baghdad, killing at least four civilians and wounding seven others, police said.
The attack occurred in the southern neighbourhood of Dora, police Capt. Jamil Hussein said, a day after bombs hit three different outdoor markets in Baghdad, killing at least 18 people and wounding more than 60.
A policeman was also killed and an officer wounded when a roadside bomb exploded near their convoy in Baghdad’s western district of Mansour today, police Lt. Maitham Abdul Razzaq said.
He also said three policemen were wounded when gunmen ambushed a convoy of Interior Ministry commandos in the southern neighbourhood of al-Bayaa in the capital.
