Three car bombs rocked the Iraqi capital on Monday, killing up to six people and wounding 18 others, a well-informed police source said.
After midday, two separate car bombs went off in about 10 minutes in two areas in eastern Baghdad, killing up to five people and wounding 15 others, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The first car bomb detonated near the Baghdad's University of Technology in Sina'a Street, killing four people and wounding 10 others, the source said, adding that the blast also damaged several nearby civilian cars and shops.
Ten minutes later, another car bomb went off near the Khansa' police station in the Kamaliyah neighborhood, killing a civilian and wounding five others, he said.
An initial report put the toll at three people killed and six others injured.
A third car bomb detonated in the afternoon near the Polish embassy in the Baghdad's central neighborhood of Arrasat, killing a civilian and wounding three others.
On Wednesday, the Polish ambassador to Iraq was wounded by three roadside bomb explosions near his convoy in the neighborhood.
Violence continues in Baghdad despite the fact that the U.S. and Iraqi security forces have staged a security plan in the capital since February 14 aimed at putting rampant violence under control.
