Six dead in Baghdad blast
A car bomb exploded next to an Iraqi police station just outside Baghdad’s Green Zone today, killing six Iraqi policemen and wounding 10, an Iraqi security official said. It was the second major attack in two days targeting Iraqi police in the capital.
The explosion happened at about 9.30am (6.30am Irish time) near a checkpoint leading to the heavily fortified area, which houses the offices of the interim Iraqi government and several foreign missions, including the US Embassy.
