BAGHDAD: A bomb hidden under a cart exploded in downtown Baghdad on Friday, killing two civilians and wounding six, police said. The cart was left near a building, and the explosives apparently were detonated by remote-control at about 7:30 a.m., police said, giving the casualty toll. Three cars parked nearby were damaged.

A booby-trapped car being towed by police also blew up in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, killing two policemen and wounding four others, police said.

Police said they were removing the car after it was found parked near a market pockmarked with bullet holes and with bloodstained seats. The explosion occurred about 8 a.m. as it was being pulled into the parking lot of the local police headquarters, officials said.

Tikrit is 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad. The police officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
