Iraqi officials say multiple bombs targeting a liquor store in the capital, Baghdad, have killed three policemen and wounded at least 14 other people.

Authorities said an initial blast went off outside the store late Tuesday in the Rissala area of Baghdad. Officials say a second bomb detonated when police rushed to the scene.

The attack comes as Iraqi leaders consider whether to allow U.S. troops to remain in the country beyond the end of the year. Both U.S. and Iraqi officials have expressed concern about Iraq's ability to cope with security after the pull-out.
