One of the attacks occurred in Baghdad’s eastern district of al- Obeidy when a booby-trapped car ripped through a residential area, killing three people and wounding eight others, the source said on condition of anonymity.

In a separate incident, a car bomb went off in Taji area, some 20 km north of Baghdad, wounding seven people, the source said.
