BAGHDAD 

At least 10 people were killed and 27 injured Monday in several attacks across the Iraqi capital, police sources said.

Officials said two national guards were killed and another two were wounded after an attack targeting their vehicle in the Abu Ghraib area on the outskirts of Baghdad.

Also, two people were killed and five were injured following the detonation of a bomb planted in a bus in the neighborhood al-Za'franiya in southeastern Baghdad.

At least three people were killed and 20 were injured in explosions which occurred on the Diyala Bridge in southern Baghdad, as well as in the districts of al-Rashidiya and Mahmudiyah, according to authorities.

Three people, including a woman, were also shot dead by unidentified gunmen, police sources added.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had lifted Baghdad’s eight-year curfew on Feb. 7, citing “improved security conditions".

Iraq has been gripped by a security vacuum since June 2014 when Daesh militants stormed the northern province of Mosul and declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.
