Suicide car bomber kills two Iraqis in Baghdad

A suicide car bomber killed two Iraqis and wounded five today in an attack on a police patrol in an area of Baghdad where insurgents had kidnapped and murdered a defence lawyer in Saddam Hussein’s trial last week, police said.

The bomb exploded at 6.30am local time in the north-eastern neighbourhood of Shaab, killing two policemen and wounding three policemen and two civilians, said police Lt. Malik Sultan.
