BAGHDAD: At least 30 people were killed in a string of car bomb attacks Saturday timed for nightfall when shoppers take to the streets during Ramadan, security sources and medics said.
They said around 100 people were wounded in nine blasts: two attacks in a shopping street in the central district of Karrada, four in southern Baghdad, another two in a northern area and one in the east.
Almost 490 people have been killed in violence across Iraq so far this month, according to a toll compiled by AFP from medical and security sources.
