Blasts in Baghdad, north Iraq city kill 15


Baghdad: Police say a series of morning blasts in the Iraqi capital and the northern city of Kirkuk has killed 15 people.

Police Brigadier General Sarhad Qadir says nine people died in three rapid-fire explosions across the ethnically-mixed Kirkuk on Thursday. The city is located 180 miles (290 kilometres) north of Baghdad.



At almost the same time, attacks rocked three Shi’ite neighbourhoods in Baghdad, killing six people.

Police say more than 30 people have been wounded in the two cities.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualties.

All Baghdad officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release the information.
