Two suicide bombers kill 30 in Baghdad

By Xinhua,

Baghdad : Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in northern Baghdad Friday, killing 30 people and injuring 100, an interior ministry source said.

The two attacks occurred almost simultaneously. The suicide attacks took place among worshippers in and outside the shrine of the Imam Musa al-Kadhem in the al-Kadhmiya neighbourhood, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

Children and women were among the dead and wounded.

The powerful blasts in Kadhmiya came a day after two separate suicide bombings in Baghdad and near the town of Maqdadiyah in the volatile province of Diyala left 87 people dead.
