Twin Baghdad suicide bombs kill 6

Twin suicide bombings in the centre of Baghdad killed at least six people on Thursday, the latest in a spate of explosions in the Iraqi capital since elections last month.
The blasts went off minutes apart during morning rush hour in the commercial district of Karrada, near a crossroads that is the site of a hospital, a police headquarters and a court building.
Each bombing killed three people, security and medical officials said. Among the fatalities was at least one policeman.
"The first attack was a suicide car bomb between the court and a police base," said Baghdad security spokesman Brigadier General Saad Maan, according to AFP.
