BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber in a car blew himself up at a bus station in central Baghdad on Friday, killing at least five people and wounding 17, police said.
The bomber 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.
Insurgents have killed thousands of police, soldiers, officials and civilians.
