At least 24 killed in two Baghdad bomb attacks

Two bomb attacks at a crowded market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, have killed at least 24 people, police and medical sources say.

According to the reports, the bombs, which also injured 60 people, went off in the mainly Shia Muslim district of Sadr City on Sunday, the sources said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, but Daesh Takfiri terrorists regularly claim such attacks in the capital.

Police said the death toll could rise.

Earlier in the day, Takfiri Daesh terrorists launched their largest attack in months on the outskirts of the capital, Baghdad, killing at least a dozen Iraqi forces.

Security officials said the terrorists carried out bombing and shooting attacks against several targets in Baghdad’s suburb of Abu Ghraib, which is 25 km west of the city center, on Sunday.

At least 12 security forces have been killed and a number of military posts have been overrun in the attacks, which, according to Iraqi security officials, are still ongoing.
