Jane, hello.</s>JANE ARRAF, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Hello, Daryn. Well, it was a huge explosion, packed into a car bomb and destined to go off, it seems, for maximum casualties and maximum damage. It exploded just as dozens of people were lining up outside a police station Tuesday morning to apply for jobs as police officers. Now, an interior ministry official tells us that the explosives were packed into a red pickup truck, one that had formally been used by the Iraqi secret police. Now more than 45 people have been killed, more than a hundred wounded. And the Army tells us that it is ferrying casualties by helicopter to Point South (ph). That wasn't the only attack on police today. There were four police officers assassinated in two separate shootings, apparent drive-by assassinations here in Baghdad -- Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Jane Arraf, joining us from Baghdad. Thanks for the latest on that. We will check back with you. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
