Baghdad: At least eight people are dead and over 40 wounded after a parked car bomb exploded in a central Baghdad, police said.

The bombing took place in a commercial district just outside the heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the US Embassy and much of the Iraqi government.

The attack is the latest in a string of violence to hit Iraq's capital after several months of relative calm.
