BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb killed two people and wounded seven in Baghdad on Wednesday, a police source said, hours after Iraqi troops stepped up security in the capital as part of what the government said was a major crackdown.
A Reuters photographer who was at the scene at the time of the blast said he saw four bodies, but it was not clear whether they were dead or seriously wounded.
He said the bomb apparently targeted a police patrol in the northern Qahira district.
In a separate attack, a roadside bomb near the Turkish embassy in another part of northern Baghdad wounded no one, police said.
Insurgents seeking to topple the U.S.-backed, Shi'ite-led government often mount bombing attacks in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq.
