Suicide bombers have killed at least 19 people near two Shiite mosques in the Iraqi capital Baghdad as worshippers marked the end of the Ramadan fasting month.
More than 30 others were wounded in the twin attacks. Police said a suicide bomber blew himself up in Jadida, a Shiite district, while another bomber rammed his explosives-filled car into an Iraqi military vehicle at a checkpoint in the neighbourhood of Zafaraniyah. Authorities had warned that militants might launch attacks during the festive season, one of the most important in the Muslim calendar.
