BAGHDAD, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- The toll from two suicide bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Monday rose to 10 people killed and 35 others wounded, a police source said.
"The latest report said that a total of 10 people were killed and 35 wounded in the two suicide bomb attacks in Baghdad," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
In one attack, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest at a crowded area in Amil district in southwestern Baghdad, leaving six people killed and 18 others wounded, the source said.
The other attack happened in eastern Baghdad, when a suicide bomber, also was wearing an explosive vest, blew himself up in Mashtal district, killing four people and wounding 17 others, the source said.
Earlier, the source put the toll of both attacks at six killed and 20 others wounded.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks, but the Islamic State (IS) militant group, in most cases, had been behind past suicide attacks targeting crowded areas, such as markets, cafes and mosques, across Iraq.
Terrorist acts, violence and armed conflicts killed 1,003 Iraqis and wounded 1,159 others in September across Iraq, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq said earlier. The tally did not include casualties in Anbar, due to volatility in the western province.
Many blame the current chronic instability, cycle of violence, and the emergence of extremist groups, such as the IS, on the U.S., which invaded and occupied Iraq in March 2003.
