TWO people have been killed in a car bombing outside provincial government offices south of Baghdad, the latest in a series of attacks targeting Iraqi officials nationwide.
The blast at 8.30am on Monday local time in the city of Hilla, 95km south of the capital, also wounded 17 people and badly damaged shops and cars, according to police.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and there are no details available on the victims.
But Sunni militants such as al-Qaeda's front group in Iraq regularly target officials and security forces in a bid to destabilise the government and push Iraq back towards the brutal communal bloodshed of 2005 to 2008.
Monday's violence came a day after three attacks on government officials north of the capital.
The deputy governor of Kirkuk province and the head of a city council in the province escaped separate assassination attempts, but the unrest still left one senior municipal official dead and eight people wounded.
Violence in Iraq is down from its peak in 2006 and 2007, but attacks still occur almost every day.
