Insurgents killed at least 22 people across Iraq on Wednesday, including 15 in two car bombings in the capital, security officials said. Twelve people were killed in a car bomb blast at a Baghdad petrol station which wounded dozens of others.
The blast occurred at 9:30 am (0630 GMT) at the petrol station which is close to one of the entrances to the interior ministry in central Baghdad. Another car bomber blew himself up in southern Baghdad's Al-Dura district, killing three and wounding another 12.
In Baghdad's western Yarmuk neighbourhood, gunmen killed the manager of a petrol station and a official working for the city council. In the northern city of Mosul, gunmen killed a female Iraqi journalist working for a local daily and her driver, police said.
Colonel Abdel Karim al-Juburi said gunmen in another car killed Fadia Mohammed Abid and her driver in Tahrir neighbourhood of east Mosul. "The two were killed while on the way to the office," he said.
