At least three people were killed and more than five others injured in a car bomb attack in central Baghdad on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry source said.
"A car bomb parking near the al-Hurriyah Square in Karradah neighborhood detonated at about 10:30 a.m. (0630 GMT), killing at least three people and wounding five others," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The blast also damaged several nearby cars and buildings, the source said.
Iraqi security forces immediately cordoned off the scene to secure the area, while ambulances continued evacuating the casualties, he said, adding that the toll could rise.
Violence continues infesting Baghdad streets despite a more- than-five-month U.S. and Iraqi security plan aiming at putting rampant violence under control.
