Iraqi security officials say at least four people have been killed and nearly a dozen others injured in separate bomb attacks against two residential areas in the capital, Baghdad.

A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two civilians lost their lives and seven others sustained injuries when a bombing attack struck a commercial district in the Ghazaliya neighborhood of western Baghdad on Sunday, Arabic-language satellite television network al-Baghdadia reported.

Earlier in the day, two anti-al-Qaeda Sahwa tribal fighters were killed and three others wounded when an improvised explosive device exploded in the Hour Rajab agricultural region on Baghdad�s southern outskirts.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.

The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) says a total of 812 Iraqis were killed and another 1,726 were injured in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in April. A great portion of the fatalities was recorded in Baghdad, where 319 civilians were killed.
