  • Story Text: At least five people were killed and 10 others wounded when two car bombs exploded in quick succession in central Baghdad on Tuesday (July 31), police said.
    They said that the attacks targeted civilians at al-Anduls square in Baghdad.
    Violence in Iraq has eased since the height of sectarian slaughter in 2006-200, but insurgents still carry out deadly attacks, especially around the capital. Deadly car bombs last week shattered a lull in violence in the lead-up to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started July 20.
