KHALIDIYAH, Iraq (Reuters) - At least four Iraqis were killed on Monday when a civilian bus was caught in a blast west of Baghdad, witnesses said.
They said a bomb, possibly in a car, blew up on a main road in Khalidiyah village near the flashpoint of Falluja, 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad. U.S. forces regularly use that road.

Reuters Television footage showed the charred vehicle and the remains of what appeared to be of a car next to it. Two bodies lay on the road as U.S. forces and Iraqi police inspected the site.

A suicide car bomb north of Baghdad earlier on Monday killed seven Iraqi police and wounded 17 people.
