BAGHDAD
At least three people were killed in a bomb attack in the Iraqi capital Baghdad Tuesday, security sources said.
Eight people were also wounded in eastern Baghdad when a bomb-laden vehicle exploded near Al-Mustansiriya University on Palestine Street, the sources said.
A large number of security forces and ambulances were dispatched to the area following the blast, and the injured have been taken to local hospitals, they added.
Baghdad was rocked by blasts late Sunday when eight people were killed and 21 others wounded in multiple incidents of violence across the capital.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had lifted Baghdad’s eight-year curfew on Feb. 7, citing “improved security conditions”.
Iraq was plunged into a security vacuum in June 2014 when Daesh stormed the northern province of Mosul and declared what it called a caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
