2 car bombs kill 10 people in Baghdad
No group claims responsibility for blasts, but Islamic State has carried out similar attacks in country in past
Authorities in Iraq said Friday two separate car bombs inside parking lots of two hotels have killed 10 people in the capital Baghdad.
Police officials said a car bomb exploded in the parking lot of Babil Hotel late Thursday, killing six people and wounding 14 others.
About one minute later, a second car bomb blast inside the parking lot of Cristal Hotel, formerly Sheraton, killed four people and wounded 13 others.
Medical officials confirmed the causality figures from both attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Nobody claimed responsibility, but Iraq has been seeing almost daily attacks that have been frequently claimed by the Islamic State group that seized large swaths of the country during a blitz last year.
