BAGHDAD (AP) - A car bomb exploded near the Iranian embassy in Baghdad
during Sunday morning rush hour, killing at least two civilians and
wounding five, police said.

The blast was in a parking lot across the street from the embassy, a police
official said. He said the two killed were civilians and the wounded included
three embassy guards.

Elsewhere in the capital, a senior police official was wounded when a bomb
that was stuck to his car exploded in a busy intersection. A traffic officer
was killed and four other people were wounded in the attack, another police
official said.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized
to release the information.
