At least 21 people have been killed and 40 people wounded in a double bombing at a busy market in the centre of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, officials say. The explosions happened near shops selling spare parts for cars in the al-Sinak market, according to police quoted by Reuters news agency. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
