At least five people have been killed and nearly one hundred others injured following a series of bomb attacks across war-torn Iraq.

A bomb explosion at a shrine in the town of Mussayab in central Iraq claimed the lives of three worshippers.

Two other people were also killed in a booby trap bomb blast south of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Meanwhile, four other bombings near the capital city have also left dozens of Iraqis wounded.

On Thursday, a car bomb explosion outside a restaurant left at least two people dead and ten others wounded in Baquba, the capital of Iraq's volatile Diyala province.
