Bombings near Baghdad market kill at least 22
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBombings near a market in a Shiite area of northern Baghdad kill at least 22 people on Sunday, security and medical officials say.
The blasts in the Sadr City area, at least one of which was a suicide bombing, also wounds at least 55 people.
The bombings are the deadliest attacks to hit the capital this year.
There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but suicide bombings are a tactic almost exclusively employed in Iraq by Sunni militants, especially members of the Islamic State jihadist group.
