BAGHDAD (AP) — Officials say gunmen broke into the office of an Iraqi humanitarian organization in Baghdad, killing five employees.

An interior ministry official and a police officer who described the shooting on Monday said the attackers also left a bomb at the scene, which exploded a bit later when security forces arrived.

They say the blast in the Iraqi capital’s Azamiyah neighborhood wounded two members of Iraqi security forces.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the attack.
