Six people were killed and 15 others wounded in Monday's suicide car bombing outside the office of Dubai-based al-Arabiyah TV in western Baghdad, an Interior Ministry source said, Xinhua reported.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at the main entrance of the office. This is not the first attack on the Arabic TV station employees in the Iraqi capital.

The head of the Baghdad bureau of TV channel Jawad Hattab escaped a bomb blast in September 2008, which was installed in his car. It was to be powered by remote control.

Seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a suicide attack committed in front of the office two years earlier in October 2006.
