FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - At least six people, including children, were killed by a car bomb in the Iraqi town of Fallujah, just a day after 43 people died in the bloodiest day in Baghdad since US troops seized the city.

Tuesday's car bomb exploded near a police station in Fallujah, a flashpoint town 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of Baghdad, an AFP correspondent at the scene reported.

At least six severely charred and mutilated bodies lay on the ground after a pick-up truck blew up about 150 meters from the police station. Another eight people were wounded, according to hospital sources.

The attack came as police cleared the rubble after Monday's synchronized suicide car bombings in Baghdad, which devastated the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and four police stations.
