BAGHDAD - Iraqi officials say gunmen have killed an electricity ministry employee, and seven people have been wounded in a string of attacks in Baghdad.
Militants seeking to undermine U.S.-backed efforts to stabilize the country have frequently targeted government employees across Iraq.
Police and hospital officials say the gunmen intercepted the electricity ministry engineer's car in western Baghdad.
Officials say four bombs also wounded seven other people in the capital on Monday, including two bodyguards protecting an education ministry adviser. The others wounded were a senior police officer, a Justice Ministry employee and three civilians.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
