BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded Sunday morning at a police station in a town west of Baghdad, causing about 20 casualties, witnesses and the U.S. military said.
The attack in Khaldiyah, about 50 miles west of Baghdad, occurred near the
main police station, witnesses said.
About 20 people were injured in the blast, said a U.S. officer at the scene.
It was not immediately clear if anybody had been killed.
There were no American soldiers in the area when the bomb exploded, said the
officer who asked not to be named.
U.S. troops blocked off the area, and two helicopters were seen hovering
overhead.
It was not clear whether the attack was a suicide bombing. U.S. troops have
been targeted by suicide bombers three times in the past week. Dozens of
soldiers have been injured and one was killed.
Khaldiyah is located in the so-called Sunni Triangle west and north of the
capital, where attacks against occupation troops and their Iraqi allies have
been fiercest. The
