"Three people were killed and 10 wounded by two improvised bombs near Fallujah," west of Baghdad, the official said. "Another such bomb killed three people and wounded 11 in the Jisr Diyala area," south of Baghdad, he said.
Violence in Iraq is sharply down from its peak in 2006 and 2007, but bombings, shootings and kidnappings are still common.
The UN envoy to Iraq, Ad Melkert, said last week that violent incidents still take place on average 25 times per day, acknowledging it was "a lot lower than what it used to be."
