KIRKUK, Iraq: Two bombings in an Iraqi market and another in a cemetery as people buried victims of the first blasts killed 11 people yesterday, police and a doctor said.
The first two attacks targeting a livestock market in Tuz Khurmatu, 175km north of Baghdad, killed eight people and wounded 25.
As people gathered at a cemetery to bury the victims of the market blasts, another bomb went off, killing three people and wounding two.
Militants in Iraq often attack places where crowds of people gather, including markets, cafes and mosques, in an effort to cause maximum casualties.
A number of funerals have also been attacked this year.
