Wednesday's car bomb took place in western Mosul, said Essam Youssef of the city's Jamhouri hospital, where some of the casualties were brought. It was not immediately clear what the target of the bomb was. Witnesses said no U.S. or Iraqi forces in the area where the explosion took place.

In a statement, the U.S. military said two people were killed and 14 wounded in the attack, which it blamed on insurgents who "continue to disregard the safety of their fellow citizens during their attacks."
