Ten killed in Iraq car bombing

Ten people have been killed in a double car bombing in western Baghdad, according to Iraqi officials

Police and hospital officials say the bombs struck within minutes of each other in two mainly Shiite neighbourhoods.

The officials said 12 people also were wounded in the attacks.

The explosions occurred this evening just before the start of Iftar, the meal that breaks the daily dawn-to-dusk fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
