Car bombings in Iraq's capital kill at least 20 civilians
A series of car bombings targeting busy commercial areas in Iraq's capital killed at least 20 civilians Monday, officials said.
The deadliest attack took place Monday night when a car bomb exploded on a commercial street in Baghdad's western district of Mansour, killing 10 people and wounding 25, police said. Security forces sealed off the area, which is often packed with nighttime shoppers. At least 20 cars were set on fire by the blast, which damaged several shops and restaurants. Police said four children were among the wounded. An hour later, a car bombing on a commercial street killed three people and wounded 12 in Baghdad's Amil neighborhood, police said.
