Baghdad  - At least 10 people were killed Monday and 45 were injured as four bombs rocked separate locations in Baghdad, television reports said.

Iraq's al-Iraqia channel said four were killed and 15 were injured in a blast in the bustling al-Alawi commercial district in central Baghdad.

Two further bombings occurred in Shiite-dominated suburbs, while the fourth attack involved a car bomb in al-Naria district, in south- eastern Baghdad, targeting an official of the Interior Ministry.

Two people were killed in that explosion, including a bodyguard, and four civilians were injured, the Voices of Iraq (VOI) news agency reported. (dpa)
