Car bombs strike Baghdad market news.bbc.co.uk Bomb attacks have come almost daily in recent weeks At least 24 people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police said. At least two car bombs and a mortar in quick succession killed 18 people and injured dozens more at a busy market in a southern mainly Shia district. Hours later a suicide bomber blew himself up in a minibus in northern Baghdad killing at least six people. Meanwhile two UK helicopters crashed after an apparent mid-air collision north of Baghdad, killing two crew. The helicopters came down in the early morning near a US base south-west of Taji. Early reports said the helicopters and troops were American. Rescue chaos In Baghdad, the first attacks took place in the south-western Al-Shurta al-Arabaa district. About 50 people were injured in the attacks. Women and children were among the casualties. The second bomb and mortar hit as rescuers were trying to cope with the aftermath of the first and get people to hospital. There were also unconfirmed reports of a third bomb in the area. The attacks came a day after a suicide attack on a crowded market in the Shia holy city of Karbala, which is now known to have killed 42 people, and a truck bomb attack on a bridge in southern Baghdad. Car and suicide bombs have occurred almost daily in Baghdad in recent months, despite a US-led security crackdown which began in February. The security surge does, however, appear to have reduced sectarian killings in the city.
