Such attacks, once almost daily in the Iraqi capital, decreased in frequency this year after security forces pushed jihadist militants back from parts of the Baghdad belt and dismantled a bomb-making cell.
The latest car bomb explosion struck near the Babylon, an upmarket hotel overlooking the Tigris in the central Karrada neighborhood.
A police colonel said at least three people were killed 12 wounded in the blast, which occurred at a time when many civilians gather for midday Friday prayers.
