Baghdad, Feb 8 (IBNS): People in Baghdad have indulged in a grand celebration after a 12-year-old curfew has been lifted from the Iraqi capital.

Iraqis were seen roaring through central Baghdad in dozens of cars flying flags, honking horns and filling the street with smoke.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said he had taken the decision to help normalise life in Baghdad, BBC reported.

The decision came even as three bomb attacks hit the Iraqi capital on Saturday and killed at least 34 people.

The first blast occurred in New Baghdad area where a suicide bomber blew himself up in a restaurant. At least 22 people were killed while 50 others were wounded in the attack.
