In Baghdad, Iraq, conflicting reports say that 5 to 11 people were killed and 10 to 28 others were wounded when a suicide bomber in a car drove into a fuel truck in the downtown Baghdad district of Karradah, but CNN reports that the blast occurred in the Baghdad district of Jadriya.

The blast happened at approximately 1:15 p.m. local time in Baghdad and reports say that the death toll is higher.

Yesterday, nearly 200 people were killed in a series of bombings in Baghdad.
