BAGHDAD, Iraq Attacks in Iraq, including a suicide bombing at a university in north Baghdad, killed at least 10 people on Sunday, April 20, security and medical officials said.

The attacks, which come as Iraq suffers a prolonged surge in bloodshed, took place less than two weeks before a parliamentary election that will be a major test for security forces.

Officials gave varying accounts of the bombing of Baghdad's Imam Kadhim University.

A police colonel said a suicide attacker entered the university before setting off explosives, while another bomber and a gunman were killed by security forces.

An interior ministry official, meanwhile, said the bombing took place at the entrance to the university, while a second bomber was shot dead.

The attack killed at least 3 people and wounded at least 9, officials said.

Iraq is hit by daily bombings and shootings that kill hundreds of people each month, but attacks targeting universities are relatively rare.

In Babil province, south of Baghdad, a car bomb killed 3 people and wounded 4, while two more car bombs killed 3 people and wounded 26 in Al-Rumaitha in Muthanna province, further south.
