Twin Car Bombs Kill At Least 13 in Central Baghdad: Police

Baghdad: Two suicide car bombs exploded seconds and a few hundred metres apart in a busy area of central Baghdad Thursday, killing at least 13 people, police and medical sources said.

The blasts went off in Karrada, a district packed with shops and restaurants, shortly after the time when people gather to break the dawn-to-dusk fast observed during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
