At least six people have been killed and at least 20 others wounded in two bomb blasts in the centre of Iraq's capital, Baghdad, reported Aljazeera.

The bombings came on Monday in quick succession near the office of the police crime investigation unit in the central Karrada district, security officials said.

At least 10 policemen were among those hurt in the attack.

Fighters opposed to the US-supported government have continued to launch deadly attacks across Iraq, although the overall level of violence in the country is at a four-year low.

Last week, five people were killed and 17 injured in a bomb blast outside an ice-cream shop in Baghdad.
