Car bombs and roadside bombings kill 21 in Iraq
Baghdad: A series of attacks, including a car bomb outside a cafe, killed at least 21 people in Iraq on Monday, officials said.Iraqi authorities have struggled to quell a surge in violence—mostly from insurgent attacks
Hospital officials confirmed the casualty figures for all the attacks.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's attacks, but insurgent groups frequently target civilians in cafes and public areas, as well as members of the security forces, in an attempt to undermine confidence in the Shiite-led government and stir up Iraq's already simmering sectarian tensions.
The attacks came a day after a series of bombings in and around Baghdad killed at least 39 people.
At least 150 people have died in attacks across the country so far this month, according to an Associated Press count.
