Baghdad, April 6 (RHC)-- At least nine Iraqis, including several police officers, have been killed and dozens others sustained injuries in a wave of attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

According to Iraqi police sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, the deadliest attack took place in the northern Sabi al-Bore neighborhood of the capital, in which four people were killed and seven were injured. The sources added that in the eastern New Baghdad district, unidentified gunmen killed three Iraqi policemen and injured two others in a drive-by shooting.

Elsewhere, in a commercial area in the southwestern Suwaib neighborhood, two civilians lost their lives and 11 others were wounded in a bomb blast. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the acts of violence. However, Iraqi officials often blame such attacks on the Takfiri ISIL terrorists.
