Bomb attacks in Iraqi kill 10, wound 37

Ten people are dead and dozens have been injured in three bombing attacks in Baghdad.

Three bomb attacks have killed 10 people and wounded at least 37 across Baghdad.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the largest of Sunday's blasts, which killed five people and wounded 22 in the east of the Iraqi capital.

It said a suicide bomber targeted Shi'ite pilgrims marking the holy month of Muharram.

Iraqi officials say two other attacks in southern Baghdad killed five people and wounded 15.

The attacks come as Iraqi forces prepare to retake the city of Mosul from IS, the militant group's last urban stronghold in Iraq. IS has been carrying out attacks far from the front lines after suffering territorial losses.
