| A car bomb has exploded at the main entrance to the heavily guarded area in Baghdad housing government offices and the US and British embassies. At least 10 people were killed and 40 hurt in the blast which happened as workers queued to get into the complex. A BBC correspondent, who was himself waiting to enter, said the explosion came from a car about 50m behind him. Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, who visited the scene, vowed to crush those responsible for the attack. "This is a naked aggression against the Iraqi people. We will bring these criminals to justice," Mr Allawi said. He suggested the blast might have been in response to a police operation in Baghdad this week that led to the arrest of more than 500 suspects. |
