Blasts kill 6 in Iraq
A car bomb exploded outside a Baghdad police station yesterday in the deadliest of a pair of attacks that killed six people in the Iraqi capital, security and hospital officials said.
A suicide attacker drove the bomb-rigged car up to a gate protecting the police post in western Baghdad's al-Amil neighbourhood during an early morning shift change when officers were gathered outside its blast walls.
The blast killed four police officers and one civilian, and wounded 15 people, according to emergency security and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
