Click to play videoNew Delhi: At least 25 people were killed and many more wounded in a double bomb attack in a market in Baghdad. The attacks occured just moments apart from each other.
The first bomb went off in a car in a crowded Shiite area of Adhmiyah. Later, a suicide bomber exploded himself into the crowd of onlookers who were gathered near the first blast site.
Moments after the twin blasts, a teenaged girl blew herself up at a checkpoint in Diyala killing four people and wounding 18. Sixty-eight people have been wounded in the attacks.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Adhamiyah is a Sunni neighbourhood tucked into the mostly Shiite eastern half of the city and has seen fierce clashes at the height of Iraq's sectarian violence but there has been a sharp reduction in attacks there over the last year.
