Baghdad (CNN) -- Two people were killed and 20 wounded in separate attacks
Sunday in Baghdad and Ramadi, Iraq, police in those cities told CNN.

In Ramadi, two roadside bombs exploded in quick succession at a busy street,
killing one police officer and injuring 17 people, Ramadi police said.

Ramadi is located in Anbar province about 100 kilometers (62 miles) west of
Baghdad.

In Baghdad, a sticky bomb attached to a civilian car exploded in the western
Jihad neighborhood, killing one person and injuring three others, police
said.

Separately, two U.S. service members died Saturday of wounds suffered when
insurgents attacked their unit with indirect fire, the military said in a
statement Sunday.

Government figures show the death toll in Iraqi violence has been rising. In
March, 247 Iraqis were killed, up from 197 people in February. Another 370
people were wounded in March.

Overall, violence in Iraq has dropped dramatically since the peak of the
sectarian violence between 2005 and 2007 but mortar attacks, bombs and
assassinations are still commonplace
