Two Car Bombing Kills 29 in Baghdad

Iraqi officials say two car bombings in Baghdad have killed at least 29 people and wounded dozens of others. The attacks occurred in the Aden square area of north Baghdad and the western district of Mansur.

Authorities say the majority of the 80 people wounded in Sunday’s blasts were hurt in the Aden explosion. Police say that attack may have targeted a national security office. The other bomb detonated outside the office of a mobile phone company, destroying several nearby buildings.

No one has claimed responsibility for either attack. In other violence Sunday, Iraqi police say a roadside bomb blast killed two people in a vehicle in northwestern Baghdad. (voa)
