A suicide bomber blew up his car right next to the "green zone" in the center of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, an area with strict security because it is home to the Iraqi government headquarters and many diplomatic agencies.
The explosion killed at least seven people and injured 24 others.

According to Iraqi police, the explosion occurred on the morning of September 17 at a security checkpoint near a suspension bridge over the Tigrit River, one of the gateways to the "green zone."
The car bomb while waiting in line for security check suddenly revved up and exploded.
The explosion killed two soldiers and injured a member of parliament and his assistant.
Police quickly blocked off the entire area where the incident occurred.
This is the latest attack to hit the center of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
A day earlier, a car also exploded near a funeral in Al-Hamza village, south of Baghdad, killing one person and injuring 15 others./.
