Car bomb kills four in central Baghdad-police

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – A car bomb killed four people,
including two police officers, when it exploded near a police
patrol in central Baghdad on Sunday morning, Iraqi police said.

The blast also injured 13 others, both police and
civilians. It was not immediately clear if it was a suicide
attack, police said.

The past 10 days have seen a relative lull in violence
despite a constitutional referendum on October 15 and the start
of Saddam Hussein’s trial for crimes against humanity.
