Baghdad: At least 15 more people fall prey to uncertain security situation in Iraq after three car bombs hit Baghdad on Sunday, security and medical officials said.
Almost 58 people were killed earlier on Sunday after a series of bombings and shootings hit parts of the Iraq, raising serious concerns over the security of the country after the withdrawal of the US troops from Iraq.
Earlier, al-Qaeda in Iraq, also known as Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), threatened to launch new wave of the attacks across the country in order to retake the land captured by Iraqi forces and local militia and free militant inmates.
According to an interior ministry and a medical official, in the west of the city, a car bomb targeted a market in the Washash area, killing at least seven people and wounding at least 21.
In north Baghdad, another car bomb killed at least five people and wounded at least 22 near a restaurant in Shuala, while a third exploded in a commercial area of Hurriyah, killing three people and wounding 14, a ministry official and a medic said.
It is to be mentioned here that attacks on Sunday were the deadliest attack ever since after the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. Militants are taking advantage of civil war in Syria and confrontations between Shia and Sunni sects in the country.
