At least sixteen people have reportedly lost their lives and dozens more were injured in separate militant attacks across Iraq.
In the first incident, at least nine people - including five policemen - were killed and 31others wounded when a bomb placed aboard a minibus went off at a market in the western Iraqi town of Amiriya on Tuesday.
Several cars were also set on fire by the explosion. Security forces cordoned off the area after the attack.
Meanwhile, two civilians sustained injuries when an improvised explosive device (IED) targeting a police patrol ripped through the Bab Sinjar neighborhood in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday.
A volatile ethnic mix of Sunni Arabs, Kurds, and Christians, Mosul remains the scene of frequent shootings and bombings, and US commanders regard the once cosmopolitan city as the last urban bastion of al-Qaeda in Iraq. The capital city of Iraq's Nineveh Province is situated some 396 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of Baghdad.
In another act of violence, some six people were killed and 15 others wounded on Monday when a suicide bomber set off a belt full of explosives at a funeral in the town of Haditha.
