BAGHDAD, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed four people, including two policemen, and wounded 10 more in central Baghdad on Tuesday, police said.

Police had succeeded in defusing one roadside bomb near a communications centre in the Karrada district when the second bomb exploded, killing two police and two civilians. Three police were among the 10 people wounded.

Bombs, mortar attacks and sectarian death squads are killing hundreds of people every week. The government has announced a major new security plan for Baghdad that aims to stem the tide of violence with the help of U.S. troop reinforcements.
