Unknown attackers blew up a house north Baghdad Sunday, killing three members of a family including a five-year-old boy, and wounding a two-year-old girl, AFP quoted an Iraqi interior ministry official as saying.

“Unknown gunmen planted three bombs around a house made of mud and reeds in the Taji area, causing it to completely collapse and killing a father, mother, and a five-year-old boy,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

The bombs exploded at about 4:00 am (0100 GMT), the official said, adding that a two-year-old girl survived but was wounded and taken to hospital.
