BAGHDAD—Iraqi police say two people have been killed and two wounded in a suicide car bombing in the northern city of Mosul.

A senior official at the provincial security headquarters says the attacker detonated his explosives Wednesday at an Iraqi military checkpoint in the Zanjili neighborhood.

The official gave the casualty toll on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.

The multiethnic city has been one of the hardest to tame after insurgents fled to the area following U.S.-Iraq security crackdowns in Baghdad and elsewhere.

Tensions have been expected to rise ahead of this month's provincial elections as Kurdish and mainly Sunni Arab parties jockey for power.
