VoA: In Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone Monday, at least one person was killed and six others wounded, including an Iraqi lawmaker, by a mortar round near the parliament.
And in western Baghdad, two people died and at least four others were wounded by a bomb blast in the Mansur area.
The car bombing was the third major attack in Iraq in the past week. Bombings and shootings in and around Baghdad killed at least 15 people Saturday, while a triple bombing in the southern city of Basra killed at least 19 people Thursday.
Violence remains common as U.S. troops prepare to leave the country at the end of this year.
Iraqi authorities say 258 people were killed in violence in October, including civilians and security personnel. U.S. and Iraqi officials have said insurgents may intensify attacks in the final stage of the U.S. military pullout to take advantage of a perceived power vacuum. But, they say Iraqi forces will be ready to deal with the country's security problems on their own.
