Car Bomb And Market Blast Kill 44 In Baghdad

At least 44 people have been killed and more than 90 others injured in two bomb attacks in Baghdad.A suicide blast at an outdoor market in the predominantly shiite northern district of al-Shaab killed 38 people and wounded 70, while a car bomb in the southern neighbourhood of al-Rasheed left six dead and another 21 injured.
A spokesman for Baghdad Operations Command told state TV a lone attacker set off an explosives vest - at the same time as the planted car bomb exploded.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.
However, Tuesday's deadly assaults come amid a series of bombings in and around the Iraqi capital which left more than 100 people dead.
A suicide blast targeting a police station and two car bombs killed around 88 people in the city last Wednesday.
