A truck bomb blast has killed at least four people and injured 20 in the northern Iraqi Kurdish city of Irbil, Iraqi officials say.
The bomb exploded outside interior ministry offices, killing a suicide bomber, two policemen guarding the building and a passer-by.
The Kurdish north has been the most stable region of Iraq since US-led forces ousted Saddam Hussein in April.
The blast damaged the ministry and shattered windows in nearby buildings.
Just another day in Iraq since the Americans invaded. This sort of thing never happened when Saddam was in power, not it's a daily occurrence.
