15 killed, 28 injured in Baghdad car bombings

Two car bombs killed at least 15 and wounded 28 more, including a boy who appeared to have lost a leg, in a co-ordinated attack on a central Baghdad shopping district early today.

The carnage in the capital’s Karradah area came on the heels of bloodshed last night that included four car bombs within 15 minutes of each other, killing at least 23 people in western Baghdad’s Shula neighbourhood and a nearby suburb. Nineteen were killed in Shula.
