Another bomb attack has rocked war-battered Iraq leaving seven people killed and a number of others wounded in the northern city of Kirkuk, Press TV reported.

The incident occurred hours after a Wednesday bomb -- planted in a car parked in Baghdad -- went off near a popular restaurant in the Shula district, killing 35 people and injuring 72 others.

Insurgency-relate violence in Iraq is on the rise after the country experienced a period of relative calm in late 2008 and early 2009 after about five years of chaos resulting from the US-led invasion of the country in 2003.
