An Iraq civilian was killed and nine people, including three policemen, wounded by two roadside bombs explosions in western Baghdad on Friday, an Interior Ministry source said.
A civilian was killed and six others were injured when a roadside bomb detonated on Friday afternoon outside a house in the al-Jami'a neighborhood, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
An Iraqi police patrol headed immediately to the neighborhood but another roadside bomb struck one of its vehicles while approaching the scene.
The vehicle was damaged and three policemen aboard wounded, the source said.
The two blasts also damaged parts of the house and several nearby houses and civilian cars, he said.
Iraqi security forces cordoned off the area to secure the scenes while ambulances evacuated the casualties to nearby hospitals, he said, adding an investigation about the incident is currently underway.
Violence still haunts Iraq though the U.S. military said earlier that the level of violence was at a four-year low. Militant groups still seem to be capable of stepping up large scale attacks.
