The aftermath of a bomb attack in the Iraqi capital.
The roadside blast happened late Tuesday in central Baghdad, killing two policemen and wounding five other people.
Police sources say the bombing targeted a police patrol near the Baghdad Hotel.
Tuesday's attack comes as the last 6,000 American troops countdown to their withdrawal at the end of this month - more than eight years after the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein, and allowed the country's Shi'ite majority to ascend to power.
