A roadside bomb killed two people and wounded eight Sunday during Baghdad's morning rush hour at the start of the local work week, Iraqi police said. The bomb exploded at 7 a.m. in southwest Baghdad as a police patrol was driving by, killing one bystander and a policeman, said a security official. Four other members of the security forces were injured. The casualties were confirmed by a medical official at Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital, the Associated Press reported. A few hours later, another roadside bomb exploded in central Baghdad, narrowly missing a passing police patrol and wounding five more bystanders.
