MOSCOW, June 29 (RIA Novosti) - At least 22 people were killed in a series of bombings across Iraq on Friday, media cited the police and medics as saying.
Bombs exploded at a soccer stadium southeast of the capital Baghdad, near a bakery in the city’s west, inside a senior police officer’s car in the central city of Ramadi, and during a funeral at an unspecified location, the New York Times reported Saturday.
Iraq has seen a surge in violence since the year start. Over 1,000 people were killed in the country in May.
Al Jazeera reported last Sunday that a suicide bombing inside a Shia mosque north of Baghdad during evening prayers there a week ago left at least 14 people dead. Twenty-five people were injured in the attack, which was made after other attacks on the same day killed at least nine people north of the city.
