Australian Embassy in Iraq, police station come under bomb attack
19/1/2005 15:03



A suicide car bomb went off near the Australian Embassy in Iraq Wednesday morning, killing at least two people and wounding four others, police said.
The blast took place around 7:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) in Baghdad's central Jadiriyah neighborhood. About half an hour later, another car bomb hit a police station in Baghdad's eastern Elwiyah neighborhood, also causing casualties.
Insurgents' attacks have been mounting recently as elections in Iraq scheduled for Jan. 30 are drawing.
