Baghdad : Three bomb attacks targeted the Iraqi police and U.S. troops in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday morning, injuring a policeman, an Interior Ministry source said.
A roadside bomb struck a police patrol near a commercial compound in the Mu’askar al-Rasheed Street, in Baghdad’s central district of Karrada, damaging a police vehicle and wounding a policeman aboard, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
In a separate incident, a roadside bomb struck a U.S. patrol in the al-Qanat Street near eastern neighborhood of Baghdad al-Jadida, the source said.
A third roadside bomb detonated near another U.S. patrol in the Baladiyat neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, he said.
The source said he could not tell whether the U.S. patrols sustained any casualties, as the troops immediately cordoned off the scenes.
The U.S. military has no comment on both the incidents yet.
In addition, the source said that police patrols collected three unidentified bodies which were killed in execution style and dumped in different parts of Baghdad during the past 24 hours.
Violence and daily gruesome finding of unidentified bodies continue in Baghdad despite the announcement of the U.S. and Iraqi officials about a steep drop of violence as a result of a major security plan aimed at checking the insurgency and sectarian strife in the capital.
