    BAGHDAD, April 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Two car bombs targeting a military convoy and a politician in eastern and western Baghdad on Saturday killed three people and wounded 13 others, police said.

    One car bomb was detonated near a joint Iraqi and US military convoy in Zayouna district in eastern Baghdad, killing two civilians, one of them a child, and wounding 10 others, the police said.

    The other car bombing happened when a bomber blew up his car near a convoy of the head of an Iraqi Shiite party in western Baghdad, killing one of his bodyguards and wounding three others.

    "A suicide car bomber drove his explosive-laden vehicle and blew it up near the convoy of Abdul Radha al-Khafaji, who escaped the attack unhurt," one police officer told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

    One of Khafaji's bodyguards was killed in the attack and three others wounded, the officer said at the scene near the Nafaq al-Shurta (police tunnel) in western Baghdad.

    Six civilian cars were damaged in the attack, which took place at about 2:00 p.m. (1000 GMT) and targeted Khafaji, head of the Democratic Party of Iraq. Enditem
