Baghdad Bomb and Bullet Bulletin
8 wounded in two bombing attacks
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Eight civilians were wounded in two bomb blasts that occurred on Sunday in Baghdad, security sources said.

“Five civilians were wounded as an explosive, planted near a market in Sayyed Abdullah village, Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad, went off,” the source told Baghdad Today website.

Moreover, another security source told Alghad Press that “three persons were wounded as an IED exploded at al-Radwaniyah region, west of Baghdad.”

2 girl released; suspects detained
Baghdad (IraqiNews) Two kidnapped girls have been freed at al-Obaidy District, east of Baghdad on Sunday, the Baghdad Operations Command said.

In a statement, the command said two of the kidnappers were arrested and referred to the bodies concerned for interrogation.

Baghdad Operations Command is the security force for the Iraqi capital. It has a department specifically to combat kidnapping and track down gangs. The department has set up a kidnapping hotline for citizens to report cases. Despite these efforts, kidnapping cases continue.

Iraqi officials fear that kidnapping cases are affecting investments in Iraq, where these cases have become a threat to businesses, their employees and investors. This could lead businesses to move or avoid the country.
