Iraq crime lab car bomber kills many in Baghdad
Jim Muir says recent attacks come against a backdrop of improved security
A suicide car bomber has killed at least 18 people and injured 80 at a government forensics centre in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say.
The attacker apparently tried to drive through a police checkpoint and blast walls protecting the centre in the Kerrada district.
The building was badly damaged by the massive blast, and the rubble is being searched by rescue teams.
On Monday, bomb attacks near well-known hotels in the city killed 36 people.
