BAGHDAD, Iraq - A roadside bomb killed four Iraqi civilians and injured one other in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, while police said they were searching for gunmen who kidnapped about 50 Shiite travelers on a highway south of the capital the night before.
The explosion apparently targeted but missed an Iraqi police patrol, said police Cap. Mohammed Abdul-Ghani. An earlier explosion in the capital was aimed at a U.S. military convoy, but there were no reports of damage or injuries, he said.
Police patrols were looking for the Sunni gunmen who ambushed a convoy of minibuses at a fake checkpoint, killing 10 Shiite passengers and kidnapping about 50, said a police officer who asked that his name not be used because he wasn't authorized to speak to media.
