Two car bombs exploded in a mostly Shiite Muslim district of
Baghdad, killing eight people and wounding 30, police said.
They said Iraqi security forces discovered a roadside bomb in the
same area and detonated it.
The attack took place in al-Ameen district of south-eastern
Baghdad.
There has been a spate of bombings in Shiite areas in Iraq in the
last few weeks, raising fears of a resurgence of sectarian
violence, which has only abated in the last 18 months.
In the worst attack on Monday, two truck bombs exploded within
minutes of each other in the mostly Shiite village of al-Khazna,
east of the restive northern city of Mosul, killing 30 people and
wounding 155.
Last week, a string of bombings targeting Shiites across Iraq
killed 44 people.
The bombings have often been blamed on Sunni Islamist militants and al Qaeda.
