25 killed in Baghdad bombings
Monday, 10 November 2008 08:45
At least 25 people have been killed and almost 50 wounded in a double bombing in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
The attacks happened in a market in a Sunni district.
The attackers set off a car bomb in Adhamiyah, then a suicide bomber ran into the resulting melee.
An interior ministry official said 48 were wounded.
Witnesses said the attack took place on a street lined with restaurants as a bus carrying children to a school drove past.
Adhamiyah, which is tucked into the mostly Shia eastern half of the city, saw fierce clashes at the height of Iraq's sectarian violence but there has been a sharp reduction in attacks there over the last year.
