"A suicide car bomb and another car packed with explosives targeted Iraqi police patrols Saturday on opposite sides of Baghdad, killing at least five people, police said.
The suicide attacker rammed into a police patrol mid-afternoon in Nisoor Square on the capital's west side, killing a civilian and a policeman, police said. Another five people were wounded.
The other explosion took place nearly simultaneously across town at a crowded bus stop where passengers were lining up to catch rides to eastern Shiite neighborhoods, though police said the target was the passing convoy of a top Iraqi police general.
Three people were killed and 15 wounded, Brig. Nazar Majeed among them, said an officer on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to media."

Such a tragedy, yet again. I can't imagine how life must be for ordinary Iraqis - people who don't know whether they'll live or die in the next five minutes. Let's hope the situation improves in the country soon.
