At least 43 people have been killed and 41 others injured in a bomb explosion in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the country's police say, Press TV reportred.

The people were killed in a bomb attack on Sunday when they had lined up to receive their salaries at a government office in western Baghdad, Reuters reported on Sunday.

The blast took place in the district of Radwaniya in the war-damaged country.

No group or person has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

Iraq has witnessed bombings and terror attacks on an almost daily basis since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003.

The war toppled Iraq's notorious dictator Saddam Hussein but also opened the gate for unrelenting violence by al-Qaeda-linked militants.
