Two lunchtime car bombs hit Iraqi army and police patrols in central Baghdad on Sunday, wounding seven people, police said. One parked car detonated as an army patrol drove by, wounding three soldiers and a civilian in the city centre. Around the same time, a vehicle parked in eastern Baghdad blasted a police patrol, wounding three officers. A lull in violence around the Dec. 15 parliamentary election has been broken in recent days, according to a report of Reuters.
