Two killed, 8 injured in Baghdad bombing

BAGHDAD: Iraqi authorities say a roadside bomb has killed two people and wounded eight during Baghdad’s morning rush hour at the start of the local work week.

The bomb exploded at 7am on Sunday in southwest Baghdad as a police patrol was passing by.

A security official said a policeman and a civilian were killed. Another four policemen were injured.

The casualties were confirmed by a medical official at Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk with the media.
