BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Bombs in two parked cars detonated in western Baghdad on Wednesday in quick succession, killing eight people and wounding 25 others, an Interior Ministry official said.

Baghdad was also struck by a series of roadside bombings that killed two people and wounded 16 others, the official said.

The double car bombing happened outside a hospital in the Harthiya district shortly before noon, the official said. The two cars were parked close together.

It was the second twin car bomb attack in Baghdad this week. On Monday, two car bombs detonated in central Baghdad, killing 12 people and wounding 37 others.

Five roadside bombings struck the Iraqi capital Wednesday, one of which targeted a New Baghdad district council leader, the official said. The council leader's driver was killed, and he and his security guard were wounded in the attack.

Two other roadside bombings in the capital wounded nine Iraqi soldiers and civilians.
