A car bomb exploded 40 miles west of Baghdad in Falluja Tuesday, killing four and wounding five, according to The New York Times.
The bombing by an Iraqi police station resembles the suicide bombings that damaged four police stations and the International Committee of the Red Cross Headquarters on Monday.
Police are unsure if the bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber.
Falluja contains Sunni Muslims and members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, and the attacks seemed to target Western agencies working with the United States.
