Three Iraqis were wounded in two roadside bomb attacks in Baghdad on Saturday, while the Iraqi police picked up nine unidentified bodies from the capitals streets, an Interior Ministry source said.
A roadside bomb went off in the afternoon near a U.S. patrol on the highway that passes through the Shiite neighborhood of Shu'la in northern Baghdad, wounding a civilian, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
It was unknown whether the U.S. soldiers sustained any casualty as the troops immediately cordoned off the area preventing the police from approaching the scene, he said.
Another roadside bomb detonated in Baghdad's western district of Iskan wounding two civilians, the source added.
Separately, the police said its patrols collected nine unidentified bodies, including six in the Karkh area on the west part of the Tigris River that bisects the Iraqi capital, according to the source.
The bullet-riddled bodies were bound, blindfolded and with signs of torture, he said.
Violence and gruesome finding of unidentified bodies persists in Baghdad as sectarian killings, bombings and abductions kill dozens of civilians daily.
