Officials said the near-simultaneous explosions occurred in a predominantly Shia neighbourhood. Police said a car bomb followed by a roadside bomb killed 10 people and wounded 22 in the busy Karrada shopping district of the centre of the capital.
Early police reports say the explosions occurred just before the breaking of the fast for the evening meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Earlier they reported two bombs killed 13 people in other districts.
One police source said he expected the death toll from the bombings to rise. The blasts occurred before the breaking of the fast for the evening meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
