BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Three suicide bombings and a mortar attack killed at least five people in Iraq on Saturday. At least 62 others were wounded in a wave of insurgent attacks.

In the latest attack, a suicide bomb exploded on a bus in a Shiite section of Baghdad on Saturday afternoon. Authorities said they did not immediately know the number of casualties in that attack.

That explosion followed a clash between insurgents, Iraqi police and the U.S. military in which a rocket-propelled grenade struck an Iraqi police vehicle, police said.
