A car bomb exploded near the main U.S. base in the northern city of Tikrit on Saturday, a U.S. official said. At least three people were killed.

A suicide bomber appeared to be driving the car when it exploded outside the outer wall of the base, said Master Sgt. Robert Powell of the 1st Infantry Division.

The car detonated near a row of shops outside the base, Powell said. Ambulances and fire trucks rushed to the scene, he added.

Footage by Associated Press Television News showed twisted wreckage of vehicles with at least three bodies. Witnesses said the blast was targeting a convoy of Iraqi officials heading to the Mayor's office in Tikrit.
