Iraqi police say a car bomb has exploded on a busy street in the western city of Fallujah, killing at least seven people and wounding a dozen others.
Police say the bomb went off early Monday as a group of day laborers was gathering for work nearby.
Fallujah is located in Anbar province, where violence has been relatively low since Sunni militant leaders turned against al-Qaida in 2006 to help U.S. and Iraqi forces fight the insurgents.
The car bombing comes as Iraq is counting votes from March 7 parliamentary elections seen as a key test of the country's young democracy.
