Baghdad, September 25 (RHC)-- Iraqi security and medical officials say at least seven people have lost their lives and more than a dozen sustained injuries in a spate of bomb attacks in and around the country’s violence-plagued capital.

A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a civilian was killed and seven others wounded when a roadside bomb went off in Baghdad’s western neighborhood of al-Shu'ala on Thursday evening, Arabic-language al-Baghdadia satellite television network reported.

Security forces immediately cordoned off the site of the attack, and ambulance workers ferried the wounded to a nearby hospital. Additionally, an anti-al-Qaeda Sahwa fighter and his wife were killed when a bomb explosion ripped through their vehicle in southern Baghdad. Their two sons were injured in the terrorist attack.

An official at the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research also lost his life in the northern al-Adhamiyah neighborhood of Baghdad on Thursday, when a bomb blast targeted his vehicle.

Separately, a bomb exploded in the capital’s western neighborhood of Ghazaliya, killing one civilian and injuring four others. In the town of Madain, situated about 20 kilometers (14 miles) southeast of the capital, two civilians lost their lives and six others suffered injuries when a bomb attack struck.
