The first car bomb exploded close to the Australian embassy in the center of the capital, killing at least two Iraqis and wounding seven, police said. An embassy official said no Australians were killed. A U.S. officer at the scene said one Australian was slightly wounded.

Insurgents have repeatedly targeted Iraqi soldiers and police in the run-up to the elections with suicide bombings and ambushes. Iraqi forces are due to provide protection at polling stations on election day.

On Tuesday, Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government announced a range of unprecedented measures to try to prevent bloodshed during the ballot, with land borders to be closed for three days and vehicles barred from getting close to polling stations.
