BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Police defused a parked car bomb just outside the northern Iraqi city of Samarra Sunday morning, near where a car bomb exploded the previous day, killing five Iraqis and wounding 15 others, Samarra police said.

Separately, an advisor to Iraq’s finance minister was shot dead as he was driving through western Baghdad’s predominantly Sunni al-Jamia neighborhood Sunday morning, an Interior Ministry official said. He was identified as Qutaiba Badr-eldin. E-mail to a friend
