A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two civilians were killed and eight others wounded when a roadside bomb went off close to a restaurant in Baghdad’s eastern neighborhood of al-Mashtal on Monday, the Arabic-language al-Baghdadia satellite television network reported.
Security forces immediately cordoned off the site of the attacks, and ambulance workers ferried the wounded to a nearby hospital.
Additionally, a civilian was killed when a bomb explosion ripped through the Radwaniyah district in western Baghdad. Three people were also injured in the terrorist attack.
A fighter from the pro-government Popular Mobilization Units also lost his life and three of his comrades sustained injuries when a bomb blast targeted their vehicle in the town of Abu Ghraib, some 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Baghdad, on Monday.
Separately, a bomb exploded in the town of Taji, located 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Baghdad, killing two civilians and injuring five others.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks. However, Iraqi officials usually blame such assaults on the Daesh (ISIL) Takfiri terrorists, Press TV reported.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq says a total of 717 Iraqis were killed and another 1,216 wounded in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in September alone.
