Baghdad: Two bombs killed at least three people and wounded 12 in attacks on an Iraqi army patrol and a police convoy in northern Iraq on Friday, Defence and Interior Ministry officials said.
Two of the dead were Iraqi soldiers hit by a car bomb near Mosul. Eight more soldiers were wounded in the blast.
In the other attack, one man died when a home-made mine targeting a police convoy exploded near the northern city of Kirkuk.
Four people were wounded in the explosion targeting the vehicles charged with protecting oil installations near the city.
