At least 22 people have been killed in two bombings that occurred just moments apart in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Reports say the first bomb went off in a car or a bus and the second bomb exploded seconds later as a crowd of people gathered to help the victims.
Nearly 50 people have been reported injured in the blasts, which took place in the morning rush hour.
It is one the deadliest attacks in Iraq in months, as violence has receded from the peaks recorded two years ago.
Although attacks have decreased in number overall, there has been a string of bombings in Baghdad in recent weeks.
The twin-bombing tactic has been a favourite one of Iraqi insurgents since the US-led invasion in 2003, say correspondents.

UPDATE: Reuters reports that the suicide bomber who blew herself up, killing 5 US soldiers in the city of Baquba was just 13 years old.
Reuters: "In another attack, in Baquba, capital of volatile northern Diyala province, a female suicide bomber killed five U.S.-backed security patrolmen and wounded 11 other people, the U.S. military said. Police said the bomber was a girl of 13."

Thanks for updating the Iraq bombing.
Use of 13 year old girl for bombing is really very troublesome, What kind of motivation drives them to take this kind of decision?
