BAGHDAD – Three people were killed and several others wounded in separate attacks in Iraq, police and hospital officials said Monday.
Among the dead was a prominent local leader of anti-insurgent Sunni forces known as Awakening Councils who was shot by two gunmen armed with silenced pistols. The attackers fled the scene after attacking Nael al-Azami near a popular cafe in Baghdad's northern Azamiyah district Monday morning.
Elsewhere in the capital, a roadside bomb struck an Iraqi police patrol in the capital's Ghadir neighborhood, killing one policeman and wounding 10 bystanders and officers nearby.
In Kirkuk, a policeman has died after a roadside bomb hit his patrol Sunday night. Four of his colleagues were seriously hurt in the blast.
A series of other early morning blasts across Baghdad wounded 11.
The first explosion occurred at 7 a.m. when a bomb attached to a civilian SUV exploded while it was heading down Baghdad's eastern Palestine Street, injuring the driver and a passenger.
About 90 minutes later, two separate roadside bombs targeting police patrols in eastern Baghdad injured a total of five policemen and four bystanders.
The police and hospital officials who described the attacks spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
