Baghdad car bomb kills at least two
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber in a car blew himself up at a bus station in central Baghdad on Friday, killing at least two people and wounding 17, police said.


The bomber, who died in the blast, was carrying passengers in his vehicle when he detonated a belt with explosives strapped to his waist, the police said.

The explosion took place in the Baab al-Sharjee area, where insurgents frequently target U.S. and Iraqi troops.

Muslim militants and former members of toppled president Saddam Hussein's intelligence and security networks are waging a guerrilla campaign of bombings and assassinations in a bid to topple Iraq's U.S.-backed government.
