A motorcycle bomb exploded in downtown Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least two people and wounding five others, an Interior Ministry source said.
"A motorcycle rigged with explosives went off in the afternoon in a busy intersection in Baghdad's Bab al-Mu'adham area, killing at least two people and wounding five others," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The blast also damaged several nearby civilian cars in the area, he said.
In a separate incident, the source said that police found the body of an abducted police officer in the al-Shurta al-Rabia neighborhood in southwestern Baghdad.
Captain Ahmad Sa'adi, a police officer of Baiyaa police station, was kidnapped on Saturday evening in Baiyaa neighborhood in southern Baghdad, the source said.
Sporadic bomb attacks, gunfire and kidnappings continue in Baghdad despite a five-month U.S. and Iraqi security plan designed to curtail insurgency and sectarian violence in the capital.
