At least 10 people were killed while around 37 were injured in three bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. According to media reports, the Islamic State claimed the responsibility for the largest attack, which killed five people and wounded 22 in eastern Baghdad.

A suicide bomber targeted Shiite pilgrims marking the holy month of Moharram.

Two other attacks in southern Baghdad killed five people and wounded 15.

The attacks come as Iraqi forces prepare to retake the city of Mosul from IS, the militant group's last urban stronghold in Iraq.
