In a separate incident, a civilian was injured when a roadside bomb struck his car in a village near al-Rashad town, just south of Kirkuk city, some 250 km north of Baghdad, the source said. A booby-trapped car went off when an Iraqi army patrol passed by in Taji area near Baghdad, some 20 km north of the capital, wounding three soldiers and five passers-by, an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
