Dozens of people have been killed in three separate suicide bomb
attacks in Iraq.
At least six people died and 18 were wounded after a suicide bomber
struck at an outdoor cafe near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
The attack occurred in the town of Tuz on Sunday, about 70km south of
Kirkuk.
Said Mohammed, the mayor of Tuz, said: "The toll could rise because we
are still sifting through the rubble."
However, Iraqi police told Muhammad Faeq, Al Jazeera's correspondent
in Arbil that 20 people were injured in the explosion.
Conflicting reports
He also said that there were conflicting reports on the details of the
explosion.
The cafe was located in a religiously and ethnically mixed town of
Turkmen and Shia residents.
The bomber was wearing a belt filled with explosives and blew himself
up at the cafe, police said.
But Kurdish sources told Al Jazeera that an explosive device planted
on the side of the road near the cafe had detonated.
Meanwhile in west Baghdad, at least nine people have reportedly been
killed by a car bomb, followed by clashes between fighters and
security forces.
Ramadan attacks
Medical and security officals also said that at least 19 people were
wounded.
The attack came a day after the Islamic State in Iraq, an al-Qaeda-led
group, announced a new phase of attacks during Ramadan.
On Saturday, a suicide car bomber killed at least 10 people and
wounded 15 in southwest Baghdad as people were queueing outside the
bakery in Al-Amil.
A resident in the Shia neighbourhood said there was no security
checkpoint nor police stationed in the neighbourhood.
At least 34 people have been killed by bomb blasts and gunfire in Iraq
since the start of the holy month of Ramadan on Thursday.
