A mortar round attack and a roadside bombing have wounded six people in the Iraqi capital on Sunday, an Interior Ministry source said.
A roadside bomb went off near a U.S. patrol while it passed near a parking lot in Baghdad's southern neighborhood of Baiyaa, wounding three people, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
However, the U.S. military did not confirm the incident yet.
Separately, a mortar round landed near an empty building of the old French embassy in the Masbah area in the Karradah neighborhood in central Baghdad, wounding three guards, the source said.
The blast caused minor damages in the building, the source added.
Violence continued in the capital despite more than five months of U.S. and Iraqi security plan aiming at putting rampant violence under control.
