In February 2014, Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone — the district housing most Iraqi government ministries and foreign embassies — was the target of a coordinated series of bomb attacks. Two parked car bombs exploded outside the Foreign Affairs ministry, killing 11 people and injuring 15 others.

Shortly after the car bombings near the ministry, a suicide bomber entered a restaurant near the Green Zone and detonated an explosive device. This attack killed an additional eight people and wounded 12 others, according to the same source.

A third car bomb exploded separately on a commercial street in a northern suburb of Baghdad, killing four people and injuring eight.

In total, the four blasts described in the source killed 32 people. No further detail is available on the identities of victims, the specific date within February 2014, claims of responsibility, or any subsequent investigation, arrests, or prosecutions related to the bombings.
