BAGHDAD, Mar 7 (NNN-NINA) – Five people were killed and four wounded, in a bomb attack yesterday, in Iraq’s eastern province of Diyala, a local security source said.
Major Alaa al-Saadi, from the Diyala police said that, a roadside bomb, planted by unidentified armed men, detonated in the evening near a civilian car, outside the town of Maqdadiyah, 100 km north-east of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Iraqi security forces sealed off the area and launched an investigation into the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Sporadic attacks still haunt Iraq despite an improvement in the security situation after the defeat of the extremist militants of the Daesh group across the country in 2017.
The Daesh group is responsible for some of the attacks targeting crowded areas, including markets, cafes and mosques across Iraq.– NNN-NINA
