Seven people have been killed and 13 others wounded after a car bomb exploded in a city in Iraq's western Anbar province.
Police sources told Al Jazeera that the blast, which occurred during rush hour in the city of Falluja, came from a parked car and was not a suicide attack.
The attack appeared to target an army convoy in Falluja, which lies 50km west of the capital Baghdad.
The blast comes in the wake of Iraq's parliamentary election.
In Anbar, a Sunni Muslim dominated province, where 58 per cent of the vote has been counted so far, the secular Iraqiya coalition is leading the vote.
