BAGHDAD (AFP)--A spate of bomb attacks across Iraq Sunday targeting a bank, a town hall, and a string of military patrols, killed at least nine people and wounded more than 50, security and hospital officials said.

Four military patrols came under attack in succession in Baghdad, they said.

In Khilani, in the centre of the embattled Iraqi capital, a car bomb exploded as a military patrol escorting a finance ministry convoy passed by, killing an Iraqi soldier and two civilians, a security official said.

At least nine people were injured in the attack, among them four soldiers.
