A car bomb exploded north of the Iraqi capital on Sunday, killing two people and injuring four others, including a deputy provincial governor, police said.

The car exploded in Khalis, about 70km north of Baghdad, said General Waleed al-Azawi, chief of police for Diyala province.

Bassam al-Khadran, one of several deputy governors working in the province, was injured in the blast. Both fatalities and the three other injured were al-Khadran's bodyguards, al-Azawi said.

The car, laden with explosives, was believed to have been detonated by remote control as al-Khadran was travelling to work in a small convoy, al-Azawi said.
