Iraq's deputy oil minister has been wounded in a bomb attack close to his home in Baghdad.
The blast was one of two bombings that killed at least six people in central Baghdad. One of the explosions hit the commercial district of Karrada, damaging many shops. Violence in Iraq is at four-year lows but militants have still shown themselves capable of mounting lethal attacks. Last week, a roadside bomb killed five people when it exploded outside an ice cream shop in Baghdad.
