Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a busy street market in central Baghdad today, in back-to-back explosions that killed at least 38 people, Iraqi health and police officials said.
The attackers struck during rush hour in the city’s Tayran Square, which is usually crowded by laborers seeking work.
The twin explosions also wounded at least 105 people, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to talk to the media.
