A double bombing in western Baghdad's Ghazaliya neighborhood wounded at least 15 Iraqis. They include six Iraqi soldiers, four policemen and five civilians. In southern Baghdad's Dora district, a roadside bomb hit a convoy of a private Iraqi security company, wounding at least two civilian bystanders and damaging one vehicle.
