Baghdad, June 26 (RHC)-- Security and medical officials in Iraq say at least eight people have been killed and 25 others injured in five separate bomb explosions and a shooting incident in and around the capital, Baghdad.

A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two civilians lost their lives and eight others sustained injuries when a bombing attack struck the Sha'ab neighborhood of northern Baghdad on Thursday, Arabic-language satellite television network al-Baghdadia reported. Security forces immediately cordoned off the site of the attack, and ambulance workers ferried the wounded to a nearby hospital.

Elsewhere in the capital's western neighborhood of Baiyaa, an improvised explosive device exploded near car showrooms, killing one person and injuring seven others. Two people were also killed and five others wounded when a bomb placed inside a garbage can went off in the industrial park of Bismayah, situated about 10 kilometers (six miles) southeast of Baghdad.

A civilian was also gunned down during a drive-by shooting in the al-Baladiyat neighborhood of eastern Baghdad.
