STORYLINE:
A mortar round hit a busy street in central Baghdad on Tuesday, killing six people and injuring 35 others, officials said.
The explosion on al-Rasheed Street, a commercial district in Baghdad, destroyed the front of a barbershop.
The blast killed six people, including two children, said Captain Amer Nouman at the Medical City hospital.
Three other bodies were burned beyond recognition and another died at the hospital of injuries suffered in the blast.
At least 35 people were also wounded, most by shrapnel, he said.
Khalid Abdul Rahman, who was caught up in the blast, said he was in a nearby bookshop when the mortar hit, he said he heard one loud explosion followed by two or three others.
Others hurt in the attack were seen recovering at al Kamr hospital, as medical staff tended to their injuries.
The attack occurred on the final day of the country's National Conference, a gathering of delegates from across Iraq that was considered a major target for insurgents who have waged violent attacks here for the past 16 months.
The mortar blast was not near the fortified enclave that housed the conference, but another explosion, reportedly from a mortar, shook the area near the conference building on Tuesday.
