New Delhi: A series of deadly bomb attacks has killed more than a 100 people in Shia areas in Iraq. At least 60 people were killed in a suspected double suicide bombing in a popular Baghdad market.
Two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests walked into Al-Shaab market in a Shiite district of northeastern Baghdad and blew themselves up.
The bodies of victims from the Baghdad market bombings were brought to the Imam Ali hospital in Sadr City.
The bombs exploded shortly after more than 40 people died in three co-ordinated blasts in the town of Khalis.
Friday's death toll pushed the number of slain Iraqis to more than 300 the worst 48-hour bout of violence in months, fanning fears of all out civil war and savage sectarianism in the country.
