Two people were killed and two others wounded in insurgents' attacks in Baghdad on Sunday, while the police said they found eight corpses during the day, an Interior Ministry source said.
A civilian was killed and two others wounded when a roadside bomb explosion missed a passing police commando patrol near the Jesr Diyala area in southern Baghdad, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
In a separate incident, gunmen shot dead police Lieutenant Salih Mahdi near his house in the al-Adel district in western Baghdad, the source said.
Also in Baghdad, a roadside bomb detonated near a U.S. patrol in Baghdad's southern neighborhood of Zaafaraniyah, he added.
The source could not say whether the patrol sustained any casualty as the troops cordoned off the area.
In addition, the Iraqi police patrols picked up eight unidentified bodies from Baghdad's streets during the day, the source added.
The bullet-riddled bodies were bound, blindfolded and showing signs of torture, he said.
Violence and gruesome finding of unidentified bodies continued in the capital despite five months of U.S. and Iraqi security plan aimed at putting rampant violence under control.
