BAGHDAD (AP) — A parked car bomb exploded in a commercial district of central Baghdad Thursday, killing 18 people and wounding dozens more.
The bombing took place off a bridge in Tahrir Square, a district of clothing shops just outside the heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the U.S. Embassy and much of the Iraqi government, a police official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
The policeman and a hospital official said 18 people died. The hospital official said 57 others were injured.
