At least four people were killed and more than 10 others wounded when a car bomb went off in a central Baghdad district on Thursday, an Interior Ministry source said.

"A car bomb parking in an area near the Hamraa Hotel in Jadriyah neighborhood detonated at about 3:30 p.m. (1130 GMT), killing four people and wounding 10 others," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

Many vehicles were burning at the scene and the toll could rise, the source said.
