BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed six people and wounded 14 when he drove a car at a police patrol in the Ghazaliya district of western Baghdad on Wednesday, police and Interior Ministry sources said.
Two of the dead and two of the wounded were policemen and the remaining casualties were civilians, they added.
On Tuesday, rebels shot dead 10 policemen in five attacks across the capital.
Iraq's U.S.-backed government is hoping that a political process which began with elections in January will defuse the insurgency -- a loose alliance of foreign Muslim militants and Saddam Hussein loyalists -- that shows no signs of weakening.
