Iraq: 2 bombs hit Baghdad, killing 1, wounding 7

Iraqi officials say two roadside bombs apparently targeting Iraqi security forces struck different areas in Baghdad. At least one civilian has been killed and seven wounded. A police officer says the first explosion took place in northern Baghdad as a police patrol passed through the area. He says it missed its target and hit a civilian car, wounding four people. Police and hospital officials say another roadside bomb struck near an Iraqi army patrol in central Baghdad, killing one civilian and wounding three others. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to release the information. Violence has significantly dropped in Iraq, but the US military warns extremists can still carry out attacks.
