BAGHDAD: At least three people were killed and eight others injured in a bomb attack in Baghdad on Monday.

The attack was carried out by a bomb-laden car in northern Baghdad, Iraqi Lt. Hatim al-Jabouri told Anadolu Agency.

There was no claim of responsibility for the violence.

Iraq’s security situation has deteriorated dramatically since mid-2014, when Daesh overran the northern city of Mosul before capturing additional territory in both Iraq and neighboring Syria. 

Last month, more than 1,000 people were killed in separate acts of violence across the country, according to the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).
