Thirteen people were killed and over 100 wounded when terrorists struck a market in the middle of Baghdad.

The first of two bombs exploded while civilian shoppers were purchasing their morning produce. The suburb of the bombing, al-Husseiniya, is largely a residential area for Shia Muslims.

A second bomb exploded minutes later targeting Iraqi security forces rushing to reach the scene.

Over 130 people have been killed by terrorist attacks in Baghdad during the month of June.
