BAGHDAD: Four Iraqi traffic policemen were killed on Friday when a suicide car bomb blew up outside their station, close to a street where several foreign media have offices in Baghdad, a security spokesman said.
Five people were also wounded by the blast on Abu Nawas street, which runs alongside the east bank of the Tigris river, he said. The French embassy is located in the same area.
The attack was believed to have been carried out by Daesh, the group that has controlled parts of Iraq and Syria since 2014.
