BAGHDAD — Officials say attacks in two different areas in Iraq have killed two people and wounded three. A police officer says gunmen broke into a real estate office in Baghdad’s northern Sabi Al-Boor neighborhood Tuesday, killing two and wounding two people there. Meanwhile, the provincial spokesman of the northern Kurdish city of Irbil, Hamza Othman, says a bomb stuck to a car belonging to the Kurdish regional forces wounded a colonel. Irbil is in Iraq’s largely peaceful Kurdish region. The area has generally been free of the bombings and shootings that have plagued the rest of Iraq. — AP
