Car Bomb Explodes In Baghdad, Four Killed


24 May 2004 -- A car exploded in Baghdad today, and a spokesman for the U.S. military says four people were killed.

The explosion happened near an entrance to the "Green Zone" compound that houses the U.S.-led administration in Iraq. There was no immediate information on who was killed.

The blast flipped at least one car over, which was left a smoking wreck.

Last week, a suicide car bombing at another entrance to the "Green Zone" killed several Iraqis, including the head of the Iraqi Governing Council.
