Bombs kill 20 in Baghdad

  • 10 years ago
Deadly attacks on central Baghdad.

This was a Turkish airlines office in Saadoun Street in the centre of the Iraqi capital.

It's been reduced to rubble.

At least 20 people were killed and dozens were wounded in two separate car bombs.

The other attack was in Kadhamiya -- a mainly Shi'ite neighbourhood.

Sectarian violence has been rising in Iraq in recent months amid political chaos.

Tensions have been further heightened by the advance of Islamic State militants and the Sunni groups allied with them.
