Twin car bombs kill six in Baghdad

BAGHDAD: Twin car bombs in Baghdad's Sadr City Shiite bastion early Tuesday killed at least six people and wounded 32, an interior ministry official said.

The first bomb ripped through a group of workers at around 6:45 am (0345 GMT) while the second exploded outside a bakery half an hour later, the official said.

He gave an initial toll of six dead and 32 people, including two women and a child, injured.

The bombings are the latest in a spate of attacks against Shiites, which have risen since US forces completed their withdrawal from Iraq on December 18.
