Baghdad, April 20 (RHC)-- At least 14 people have been killed by bombings and mortar fire, targeting various public places around the Iraqi capital Baghdad. Officials said that the most lethal attack took place on Sunday night when a car bomb went off on a busy commercial street in Baghdad, killing six and injuring another 13.

Earlier in the day, three people were killed and eight more wounded by a bomb blast close to a market in the al-Taji district, north of the capital. According to police, two people were also killed and five more injured as a bomb went off in Baghdad's northeastern suburbs.

Three people were also killed as a civilian residence was hit by a mortar shell in the Sabaa al-Bour village located some 30 kilometers north of Baghdad. Medical officials have confirmed the casualties.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the bombings, but such attacks are usually blamed on the ISIL Takfiri terrorists.

The terrorists are in control of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, and have swept through parts of the country's Sunni Arab heartland.
