Three policemen and four civilians were wounded in two roadside bomb explosions in the Iraqi capital on Thursday, an Interior Ministry police source said.
A roadside bomb detonated on the highway near the Nahdha area in central Baghdad when police experts were trying to defuse it, wounding three of them, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The other roadside bomb went off in the industrial area of Sheikh Umer neighborhood, wounding four civilians, the source added.
The blast damaged several nearby civilian cars and buildings, the source said.
Violence persists in Baghdad despite the presence of tens of thousands of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers across the capital in a major security crackdown aimed at curbing insurgency and sectarian violence.
