BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) - A suicide car bomber attacked a security forces'
checkpoint in eastern Baghdad around noon Sunday, killing three people,
military officials said. Clashes in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood killed at
least seven Shiite militants.

A taxi was used in the suicide bomb attack that occurred near Baghdad's
Shaab stadium in a mostly Shiite area, an Interior Ministry official said.

An Iraqi soldier and a traffic police officer were among the three
fatalities. Fourteen others were wounded in the blast, the official said.
