Baghdad was yet again confronted with a series of violent acts during the weekend, which claimed the lives of at least 30 people.

According to BBC reports, in one event, two car bombs placed in a busy parking lot near the airport in Baghdad blasted fourteen people and injured six on Sunday. An earlier bomb placed on the roadside leading up to the airport claimed no casualties.

Another string of roadside bombs, with the deadliest one mainly targeting a police patrol on Palestine Street, killed 11 civilians instead. Five people died in the police patrol attack.

Insurgents' offensive on law enforcement units, left three officers dead and 13 people wounded in the northern part of Baghdad, while three civilians were blasted away by a bomb that went off in a vegetable market.

Two guards belonging to the Iraqi foreign minister's convoy died in an attack in northern Baghdad as well.

As if this wasn't enough, two civilians were killed and nine were injured in an attack intended for a US army convoy in Mosul, while the Basra province governor fired the military leader of the area for alleged terrorist ties.
