A car bomb killed one person and wounded four in central Baghdad, the police said.

The blast was about 100 metres from the Iranian embassy, but police said the diplomatic mission did not appear to have been the target. The embassy compound was not damaged.

An informed source told Iran's official IRNA news agency the car bomb was not near the embassy. No Iranian diplomats were hurt, the source added.
