A twin bombing at a crowded market in Baghdad has killed eight people, Iraqi officials said.
Police officials said the Friday morning attack started with a bomb exploding near carts selling used clothes in Bab al-Sharqi.
The second explosion, caused by a car bomb, went off two minutes later targeting people, who rushed to help the victims from the first blast. Police and hospital officials said along with the eight killed, 20 people were wounded at the market.
