Baghdad, April 3 (RHC)-- Police and medical officials in Iraq say at least 11 people have been killed and over two dozen others injured in separate bomb explosions that struck areas in the capital, Baghdad.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said eight people, including two women, lost their lives and 18 others sustained injuries on Thursday evening, when a blast ripped through Baghdad’s central neighborhood of Bab al-Moatham. Earlier in the day, a bomb explosion near a small restaurant in Baghdad’s northeastern district of Husseiniyah killed three people and wounded eight others.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the acts of violence. However, Iraqi officials usually blame such attacks on the Takfiri ISIL terrorists.
