More Than 20 Killed in Series of Bombings in Baghdad, Police Says

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – More than 20 people were killed and about 50 injured in three bombings that hit Baghdad on Monday, police and medical sources said.

The attacks came as Iraqi forces and volunteers are fighting Daesh (ISIL) terrorists in Fallujah, their stronghold just west of the capital.

Twelve people were killed and more than 20 injured when a car bomb blew up in Baghdad's northern Shaab district.

Seven were killed and 19 wounded by another car bomb parked in Tarmiya, a suburb of Baghdad.

An explosive device on a motorcycle exploded in Sadr City, a district of Baghdad, killing two and injuring seven, Reuters reported.
