In Iraq, at least ten people have been killed and several others wounded in a spate of bombings across Baghdad. Officials said seven Iranian pilgrims were among those killed in the explosions this morning across the capital city. The deadliest attack involved two near-simultaneous blasts, one at an abandoned house laced with explosives and the other a car bomb, close to a rest house popular with Iranian religious tourists in Kadhimiyah. Five pilgrims were killed and 18 wounded in the attack. And in the Shuala neighbourhood, a suicide bomber driving a vehicle packed with explosives rammed into a bus carrying Iranian religious tourists before detonating his payload. Two Iranians were killed and 28 wounded. Meanwhile, in the south Baghdad neighbourhood of Bayaa, two people were killed and 32 others wounded when a car bomb blew up. According to defence ministry officials, another person was killed and eight wounded when a roadside bomb targeting civilians exploded near Oqba bin Nafia square in the capital's central commercial district of Karrada.
