BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two bombs exploded near a petrol station in Baghdad's western Mansour district on Thursday, killing at least five people and wounding 23, police said.
The first blast was a roadside bomb that hit people lining up for fuel at the petrol station, they said. When police arrived on the scene to help, a car bomb exploded.
Mansour is an upscale neighborhood with a mixed population of Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs.
There has been a relative lull in major attacks and violence over the Eid al-Adha holiday, which ended on Wednesday.
