Bomb kills two in Baghdad school yard

A bomb exploded in a school yard in a Shiite Muslim neighbourhood of Baghdad today, killing two people, believed to be children, and wounding three others.

Iraqi police found a second unexploded bomb in the school grounds and called in a US military bomb disposal team.

The ages of the victims of the blast were not immediately released.

There were conflicting reports on casualties.

The US official said two people were killed and three were injured but he did not have information on the ages of the victims.

However, Iraqi police said one child was killed and three children were injured in the blast at the Asmaa Elementary School.
