BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded near an Iraqi police patrol in southern Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and wounding 29, police said.


The blast occurred in the Zaffraniya district of the city, blowing a crater in the road and destroying half a dozen cars, including several police vehicles. Police officers said policemen and civilians were among the dead and wounded.

Ambulances were at the scene and firefighters doused the burning wreckage with water, Reuters television pictures showed.

It was the second large bomb attack of the day. Earlier, a suicide bomber wearing an Iraqi army uniform killed at least 23 people and wounded 29 at an army mess hall north of the capital, police and military sources said.
