A bomb attack on a bus station in the Iraqi capital has killed seven people and injured another 18, according to Iraqi police sources.

 

Tuesday's explosion took place in the al-Mashda area in eastern Baghdad at noon local time [09:00 GMT] and was followed by another explosion elsewhere in the city.

 

Four people were killed and eight wounded by a roadside bomb that was detonated in Al-Qahira in northern Baghdad.

 

Iraqi security officials claim that anti-government fighters are now resorting to using smaller bombs and planting them in vehicles.
