Twin car bomb blasts kill at least 26 people in Iraq

At least 26 people have been killed in the Iraqi capital Baghdad when two car bombs went off in the car- park of State run Trade Bank. The Interior Ministry says, more than 50 people were injured. The car bombs which had been stationed in the parking lot exploded within about a minute of one another. At the time, many people were queuing to have passports and identity cards issued or renewed. The attack came just a week after gunmen wearing explosive belts attacked the Iraqi Central Bank and engaged the security forces in a lengthy gun battle before blowing themselves up.
