BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Insurgents in Iraq killed four people and wounded 17 others Saturday in three separate attacks, officials said.
The violence comes as the December 15 general elections to name a new national assembly approach.
In the day’s deadliest attack, a blast from a suicide car bomb ripped through a gas station in the Iraqi city of Samarra, killing three people and wounding nine others, according to the city’s police chief.
The bombing also destroyed five cars, the chief said. Samarra is north of Baghdad in Salaheddin province.
