Seven killed in central Baghdad car bomb

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb outside the Health Ministry in central
Baghdad killed seven people and wounded 23 on Tuesday, police said.

The bomb exploded in a parking lot close to the ministry, sending a
plume of black smoke into the sky. Police said they were checking
another vehicle in the car park which they suspected was also rigged
with explosives.

In the east Baghdad district of Zayouna, a car bomb killed two people
and wounded five others, police said.

Sunni Islamist al Qaeda militants have pledged a renewed campaign of
violence to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started last
week.
