In Iraq, three people were killed and 10 wounded after two roadside bombs exploded in Baghdad on Wednesday. Interior Ministry said the bombs exploded in quick succession near al-Rusafa Education Directorate in the Sadr City section of the Iraqi capital. It said a separate attack on a convoy carrying Iraq's deputy minister of housing and reconstruction, Istabraq Ibrahim, did not hurt him but injured four bystanders in northeastern Baghdad. Another bombing in central Baghdad and one in the city of Tikrit wounded several people but caused no fatalities.
