One Iraqi killed, 10 injured in Baghdad bombings

An Iraqi civilian was killed and another 10 people injured in two bomb attacks in Baghdad on Thursday, an interior ministry source said.

A roadside bomb went off in Baghdad's western neighborhood of al-Yarmouk, drawing to the scene the Iraqi security forces and civilians, after which, the second one exploded, ripping through the crowd and killing a civilian and wounding seven, among whom there were three Iraqi army soldiers, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

In a separated incident, a roadside bomb exploded at a main road near the al-Adel neighborhood in the capital's west, wounding three people, the source said.

Violence continued in Iraq more than three months after the country held its landmark parliamentary election widely expected to shape its political landscape.
