Iraqi security and medical officials said on Sunday that five people were killed in the city of Fallujah -- about 69 kilometers (42 miles) west of Baghdad, the city of Sharqat -- about 290 kilometers (180 miles) northwest of the capital, and the northern city of Kirkuk.

In Fallujah, an Iraqi soldier was killed and three others were wounded in a car bomb attack targeting an army patrol. A child was also killed in a roadside bomb attack in the city.

Two people were also killed and 26 others injured in a car bombing near a police station in Sharqat.

And in Kirkuk, a roadside bomb attack killed one person and wounded two others.

The Sunday attacks in Iraq were carried out a day after an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said 32 people were killed and scores of others injured in two car bombings in northern Baghdad.   —www.shafaqna.com
