BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber drove a car packed with explosives into a crowd of police officers at shift change outside a police station in Baghdad on Sunday, killing four and wounding 12, a source in Iraq's Interior Ministry said.

The bomber struck in the mainly Shi'ite Amil district in the southwestern area of the Iraqi capital, the source said.
Tensions have been running high since a parliamentary election nearly three months ago that produced no clear winner, forcing potentially divisive negotiations between Iraq's Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish political factions to agree a new government.
Overall violence has tumbled since the worst of Iraq's sectarian warfare in 2006-07, when tens of thousands of people were killed.
But civilian deaths have climbed since the March 7 election. Iraqi authorities said 275 civilians were killed in bomb blasts and other attacks in May and 274 in April, up from 216 in March and 211 in February.
A cross-sectarian electoral coalition led by secularist former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi rode strong support from Iraq's minority Sunnis to a two-seat victory over a largely Shi'ite bloc headed by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
But Maliki's State of Law group has announced a tentative alliance with the third-place finisher, the Shi'ite Iraqi National Alliance, to form a single bloc in parliament.
Allawi has warned that any attempt by the Shi'ite groups to form a government that excludes his Sunni-backed Iraqiya coalition could spark renewed violence.
On Saturday, gunmen killed an Iraqiya candidate who did not win a seat in parliament. Faras al-Jubouri was shot to death in his home near the troubled northern city of Mosul.
He was the second Iraqiya candidate to be killed since the election.
