BAGHDAD — Iraqi officials say two bombs exploded in a busy marketplace in central Baghdad Saturday, killing at least 18 people and wounding dozens.
The Reuters news agency quotes an Interior ministry official as saying a suicide bomber detonated one of the bombs, while the other was a planted explosive.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Islamic State militants usually claim such bombings.
Baghdad has been on high alert since October when its military started an offensive to retake the northern jihadist stronghold of Mosul.
