Three car bombs blew up in Baghdad, killing altogether 10 people,
police said.
Two car bombs rocked the Australian Embassy and a police station
in the capital Wednesday morning, killing eight people and wounding several
others.
A third blast took place at about 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) at an Iraqi
military base in an old airport in western Baghdad, killing two and wounding
five others, police said.
An explosive-laden vehicle drove to the main gate
of the base and blew up there, they added.
Violence has seen no let-up across
the war-torn country in the run-up to the scheduled Jan. 30 election, the first
of its kind in decades.
