BAGHDAD, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) — A total of 11 people were killed and some 33 others wounded in two suicide bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Saturday, a police source said.
A suicide bomber blew up an explosive vest at the crowded market of al-Arabi in downtown Baghdad, leaving at least five people killed and some 13 others injured, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Another suicide attack reportedly occurred earlier in the day when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest at a popular restaurant in New Baghdad district in southeastern part of the capital, killing six people and wounding 21, according to the source.
The toll could rise as ambulances and police vehicles evacuated the casualties to nearby hospitals and medical centers, the source added.
