A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives-laden BMW Thursday as a convoy
of private American security agents drove by in the second attack in a week near
the heavily fortified Sadir Hotel.
The hotel is used by foreign agents and other Westerners involved in Iraqi
security operations and reconstruction.
An Iraqi police official said one passer-by was injured but no one in the
convoy was hurt in the explosion, which sent a huge plume of smoke into the sky
over Rasafi Street where the hotel is located.
A car bombing near the hotel on Friday killed one an Iraqi security guard and
wounded two others.
