Five killed in Iraq bomb attacks

Five people were killed and about 40 wounded in bomb attacks on Tuesday in Baghdad and the western Iraqi city of Ramadi, security and medical officials said. The deadliest attack was in Ramadi, where three people were killed and 10 wounded in a double car bombing outside a restaurant in the northern district of Al-Jazira, hospital officials and police said. It was the second deadly car-bomb attack in as many days in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, once a bastion of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq. In Baghdad, two people were killed and 30 more wounded when two bombs exploded in the Shiite slum district of Sadr City on Tuesday, security sources said.
