Officials: 2 attacks kill 9 people in Iraq

None

Two attacks in Iraq targeting diners in a cafe and swimmers in a stream on Wednesday killed at least nine people, as violence surges during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

 

Violence in Iraq is now at its deadliest level in half a decade, raising fears the country is returning to the widespread bloodshed that pushed the country to the edge of civil war. More than 2,800 people have been killed since the start of April. (AP)
