Car bomb blasts in two northern Baghdad neighbourhoods killed at least 17 people and wounded at least 57 yesterday, medical and security sources said.
One explosion went off near the Tigris River in the Graiat area, killing at least seven people. The other struck near a restaurant in the Adhamiyah district, killing 10, they said.
There was no immediate claim for the attacks but the Islamic State (IS) group has claimed much of the recent violence to hit the Iraqi capital and elsewhere in the country.
