A car bomb struck an Iraqi Army patrol in Baghdad's western suburb of Abu Ghraib on Monday, killing two soldiers and wounding 15 people, an Interior Ministry source said.
The blast took place on a main road in Abu Mnaiseer district, part of Abu Ghraib area, when an explosive-laden vehicle detonated near a passing army patrol, destroying a military vehicle, killing two soldiers and wounding three others aboard, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Twelve civilians were also wounded by the powerful blast, which also damaged several nearby civilian cars, the source said.
Iraqi security forces sealed off the scene and conducted a search operation in the surrounding area, the source added.
Sporadic attacks continue in Iraq more than a month after the country held its landmark parliamentary election which is widely expected to shape the political landscape of the war-torn country.
