Iraqi police say a double-bombing in eastern Baghdad targeting traffic police has killed at least 6 and wounded 41 people.
An Iraqi police official says the first blast Wednesday morning was from a car bomb. Moments later, a roadside bomb went off nearby targeting people rushing to the scene.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media.
Hours earlier, in the same area, the US military says a roadside bomb exploded near an American patrol but there were no deaths or injuries.
