The Al-Ikhbariyeh TV station says the bomber detonated his vehicle in front of a police station in the capital's al-Midan neighborhood. It says two attackers blew themselves up in the same place, with one managing to enter the station.

The station says several people were killed or wounded.

Ambulances rushed to the scene and security agents cordoned off the area.
