Car bombs kill four, wound 15 in Baghdad


    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three car bombs exploded in central Baghdad on Tuesday, killing four people and wounding 15, police said.

    They said the death toll was based on initial reports and could rise.

    One explosion occurred in a car park near the Iranian embassy, another near the Foreign Ministry and the third close to a popular restaurant.

    The attacks took place a week after a series of car bomb blasts in central Baghdad killed up to 112 people.
