A car bomb killed at least six people and wounded 28 in Baghdad on Wednesday, a police source said. The source said the blast targeted people signing up for the Iraqi army. The six dead were members of the National Guard. A second explosion was heard soon after, but there was no immediate word on casualties from it. Insurgents bent on toppling the US-backed interim government frequently attack security forces and police with suicide and car bombs, and have killed hundreds in such attacks.
