A car bomb exploded outside a Baghdad coffee shop Saturday, killing two people and wounding 11 others, police in the Iraqi capital said. The blast happened around 9 p.m. (2 p.m. ET) in the al-Shurta al-Rabaa neighborhood, southwest of Baghdad. With those deaths, the Iraqi Interior Ministry announced Sunday that 164 people had been killed throughout the country in August. This figure incorporates information from Iraq's interior, defense and health ministries. A CNN tally indicates that more than 270 people died last month in violence throughout Iraq, however.
