A civilian was killed when a sticky bomb attached to his car went off in Baghdad's western district of Ameriyah, an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
In Iraq's eastern province of Diyala, a booby-trapped car went off in the afternoon at a parking lot near the provincial government complex in central Baquba, some 65 km northeast of Baghdad, wounding 17 people, a source from the Diyala's operations command anonymously told Xinhua.
A senior government official and four policemen were among the wounded by the blast, which also destroyed several nearby cars and caused damages to surrounding buildings, the source said.
The incident is under investigation as the area is only opened for government vehicles and a few other cars who have special permission for parking, the source said.
Sporadic attacks are still common in the Iraqi cities despite dramatic decrease in violence since its peak in 2006 and 2007 when the country was engulfed in sectarian killings.
