Irad hit by three car bombings

The car bombs have exploded in the capital of Iraq, killing at least 19 and injuring little over 81 Sunday. According to Al-Jazeera, the blast took place at a provincial government building close to Anbar.


"The first two bombs went off within minutes of each other, the third exploded as the dead and injured were being carried away," reported a Journalist who works for Al-Jazeera .

On the other hand,
BBC reported that 22 people have died and at least 61 are injured. The report also said that the third car was close to a main hospital at the area. The dead are thought to be mostly civilians but also some police personnel too.

Both reports said that a number of armed groups have been attacking the area and it has been a target in recent months.



Al-Jazeera reported that no one is taking responsibility for the attacks yet.
