Car bomb kills 2 Iraqis in Baghdad

Iraqi officials say a car bomb has killed two and wounded seven people in western Baghdad.       

A police official says the bomb exploded Wednesday in a car parked in a commercial area full of shops and clinics in the Sunni-dominated Mansour neighborhood.       

A hospital official confirmed the death toll. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.       

Violence has dropped considerably since the height of Iraq's insurgency just a few years ago, but deadly attacks still happen almost every day.
