Car bomb attack on embassy

A CAR bomb exploded near the Turkish Embassy in Baghdad yesterday, killing the driver and wounding more than a dozen others.

The suicide attack came amid widespread Iraqi anger over Turkish plans to deploy troops in the country.

It was the latest in a string of bombings to shake the Iraqi capital. Two days ago, a car bomb targeted the Baghdad Hotel, home to US officials and members of the Iraqi Governing Council. At least eight people including the bomber were killed.
