Eight people were wounded in gunfire and bomb attacks in Baghdad on Saturday, an Interior Ministry source said.
Three traffic policemen and two civilians were injured when gunmen in a black sedan opened fire on them in the Wathinq Square in Baghdad's central district of Karrada, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
In a separate incident, a roadside bomb explosion struck an Iraqi army patrol in an intersection in the al-Suleikh neighborhood in northern Baghdad, damaging one of the patrol's vehicles and wounding three soldiers aboard, the source said.
The blast was followed by gunfire, he said.
Sporadic attacks continue in the Iraqi capital despite the relative lull of violence across the war-torn country, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials.
