Car Bomb Attack at Baghdad Police Headquarters

Tuesday, September 02, 2003

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Bloodshed in Iraq continued Tuesday as a car bomb exploded near Baghdad police headquarters (search), killing an Iraqi police officer and wounding at least 10 other bystanders.

Iraqi police, however, say none of their officers died. Baghdad police have been trained by U.S. officials.

Fox News confirmed through Iraqi police that the car bomb was used to target acting Iraqi police chief, Hassan al-Obeidi (search). Officials are calling the incident a terrorist attack.

Tuesday's bombing came just one day after a roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers and injured another. Another U.S. soldier was killed in a helicopter crash south of Baghdad.
