Iraqi officials say a parked car bomb exploded in a Baghdad neighborhood, killing 9 people and wounding another 33.
Nobody claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack, which comes two days after U.S. commandos killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
Police and medical officials say the bomb exploded in front of a cafe in a Shiite enclave of the mostly Sunni neighborhood of Dora in southwestern Baghdad.
Most of the dead and injured were young people watching a football match.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
