A car bomb killed three people in Iraq’s Mosul on Thursday, medical and security officials said, the first such attack since extremists were ousted from the city last year.

The Daesh group, which once controlled a cross-border “caliphate” home to millions of people, lost control of Mosul and the rest of its urban strongholds in 2017 but it has continued to wage guerilla-style attacks across Iraq.

On Thursday, a car bomb went off around dinner time at a restaurant in the war-ravaged west of Iraq’s second city.
