BAGHDAD, July 29 (Reuters) - A vehicle curfew would be imposed across Baghdad in a bid to avert attacks on fans celebrating Iraq's appearance in the Asian Cup soccer final on Sunday, Iraqi military officials said.

Baghdad's chief military spokesman Brigadier General Qassim Moussawi said the curfew would be imposed from 4 p.m. (1200 GMT) until 6 a.m. Monday (0200 GMT). The final against Saudi Arabia begins in Jakarta later on Sunday.
