Baghdad : Two roadside bomb explosions rocked the Iraqi capital on Thursday morning, killing a civilian and wounding 10 others, an Interior Ministry source said.
“A roadside bomb detonated near a minibus carrying passengers in Baghdad’s eastern neighborhood of Baladiyat, killing a passenger and wounding nine others, along with damaging the minibus and several nearby civilian cars,” the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Another roadside bomb went off near the Musa Bin Naseer fuel station in the Karradah district in central Baghdad, injuring two civilians, the source said.
Sporadic attacks continue in Baghdad despite the U.S. and Iraqi officials frequently announced drop of violence in the capital after more than ten months of a major security plan aimed at putting rampant insurgency and sectarian violence under control.
