BAGHDAD, July 6 (UPI) — At least seven people, including a child, died in overnight violence in Iraq as gunmen targeted police and civilians, Iraqi security officials said Monday.

A car bomb in the northern city of Mosul killed a child and wounded two other civilians Monday, while gunmen in Baghdad Sunday night killed five members of an Iraqi security detail, Interior Ministry officials told CNN.

In other attacks Sunday in Mosul, a car bomb targeting a security patrol wounded six police officers, and one civilian was killed and 15 others wounded when attackers lobbed at least 11 grenades into a crowd of civilians, CNN reported.
