surge update - Dozens Killed in Worst Baghdad Attack in Months

BAGHDAD � Twin bombs struck two markets in central Baghdad on Friday, killing dozens in the worst attack in the Iraqi capital for many months.

One bomb hit the Ghazil pet market, the scene of another deadly bombing in November when 13 people were killed.

The second bomb hit minutes later and barely two miles away at the New Baghdad pet market. Both markets are on the east side of the river, and both are in mainly Shiite areas. But they are popular with both Shiites and Sunnis.

The bombings were carried out by female suicide attackers wearing explosive vests, witnesses said.
