Car bomb outside Australian Embassy in Baghdad kills two
By Associated Press
Wednesday, January 19, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded outside the cement blast barriers of the Australian Embassy in central Baghdad on Wednesday, killing two people and wounding four, police and witnesses said.

The blast rocked the capital around 7:00 a.m. and was followed about a half hour later by another explosion, which sent a column of black smoke rising above the eastern part of the city.

The second blast was caused by another car bomb that targeted a police station in Baghdad's eastern Elwiyah neighborhood, police Lt. Nateq Ahmed said.

In Australia, officials said no embassy personnel were killed or hurt in the explosion outside its diplomatic mission in Baghdad.

A policeman on the scene, who refused to give his name, said two people were killed and four were wounded in the embassy attack. He didn't give the nationalities of the victims.

The embassy is located in Baghdad's central Jadiriyah neighborhood.
