    BAGHDAD, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- At least 13 people were wounded in separate bomb attacks in Baghdad on Tuesday, a well-informed police source said.

    A car bomb went off at a market place in Baghdad's northeastern district of Shaab, wounding nine people, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

    The toll could rise as ambulances and civilian cars evacuated the victims to nearby hospitals and medical centers, the source said.

    In a separate incident, a bomb planted in a civilian car detonated in the neighborhood of Doura in southern Baghdad, wounding two people aboard and two bystanders, the source added.

    The attacks came a day after a spate of deadly bombings across Iraq that killed at least 49 people and wounding 260 others, raising concerns about the ability of Iraqi security forces to contain violence after the U.S. troops pulled out of Iraqi cities and towns on June 30 in line with a pact signed late last year between Baghdad and Washington.
