[DuctapeFatwa]

A suspected car bomb exploded outside the Education Ministry in central Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least five people and wounding four, a Reuters witness said.

A ministry official, who asked not to be named, said about 20 people had been killed or wounded.

The blast in the Iraqi capital's Adhamiya district heavily damaged the ministry building and destroyed half a dozen vehicles. Smoke poured from the building as firemen fought a blaze set off by the blast.

The body of one elderly man lay in the street on fire. Two of the dead were women.
