A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least two civilians lost their lives and eight others sustained injuries when an improvised explosive device went off close to a popular restaurant near the Diyala Bridge in southeastern Baghdad on Sunday, the Arabic-language al-Baghdadia satellite television network reported.
A police officer also died and four others were injured when a roadside bomb exploded in the town of Abu Ghraib, located some 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Baghdad.
Earlier on Sunday, a bombing attack struck a commercial district in the capital’s eastern Camp Sarah district, leaving a civilian dead and six others injured.
