Baghdad [Iraq], March 2 (ANI): Four civilians were killed on Wednesday in two separate incidents of bombing in Iraq's Kirkuk and Diyala provinces.
"An explosive device planted under a car went off, killing a man and his two sisters in the Al-Azim sub-district located 60 kilometers [roughly 38 miles] north of Baqubah, Diyala's regional capital, Anadolu Agency quoted police Captain Habib al-Shimmari as saying.
Further another incident of bomb blast was reported in Kirkuk's Al-Dabas district in which a civilian lost his wife.
