Officials say bombings kill 15 in Iraq's capital, Baghdad

A string of bombings ripped mainly through commercial areas in Iraq's capital Sunday, killing at least 15 people and wounding dozens, officials said.

 

The deadliest attack took place in Baghdad's Bab al-Sharji area, where a bomb went off outside a small restaurant, killing seven civilians and wounding 22, a police officer said. Another bombing in the central Sibaa area killed three civilians and wounded 11, he said.

 

At night, a bomb blast targeting a patrol of anti-militant fighters, known as Sahwa, killed three Sunni fighters and wounded two others in the southern Baghdad's suburb of Arab Jabour.
