28 killed in Baghdad market bombings

---

BAGHDAD, Nov 10 (AFP): At least 28 people were killed and dozens wounded Monday in a double bomb attack in a market in a Sunni district of Baghdad, security officials said.
The attackers set off a car bomb in Adhamiyah, then a suicide bomber ran into the resulting melee and blew up, according to defence and interior ministry officials. An interior ministry official said 48 were wounded.
The Medical City hospital received 37 wounded people, including several women and children and two Iraqi soldiers, a medic said.
Witnesses said the attack took place on a street lined with restaurants as a bus carrying children to a school drove past.
Adhamiyah, a Sunni neighbourhood tucked into the mostly Shiite eastern half of the city, saw fierce clashes at the height of Iraq's sectarian violence but there has been a sharp reduction in attacks there over the last year.
