A suicide bomber blew himself up in a queue of voters outside a west Baghdad polling station on Sunday, causing several casualties, and a blast at another polling centre in Sadr City killed at least four people, officials said. Police said mortar attacks on several polling stations around Baghdad had killed and wounded several people but did not have precise casualty figures. Earlier, a suicide car bomb attack outside another polling centre in western Baghdad killed a policeman and wounded four people. REUTERS/Chris Helgren
