BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say four people have been killed in the explosion of a bomb in a parked car in southwestern Baghdad.
The blast Tuesday evening in a Sunni neighborhood also injured 14 people.
The information came from police and medical officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Violence has decreased dramatically in Iraq since the height of the war, but bombings and shootings still happen daily across the country, many against a sectarian background.
On Sunday, 16 people were killed during a series of blasts in and around the capital. Many Iraqis worry that violence may increase when U.S. troops pull out. That is scheduled for the end of this year.
