Twin bombings devastate Iraqi capital: 25 killed, 90 injured

BAGHDAD

At least 25 people were killed in a double suicide bombing in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Jan. 15, state-run Anadolu Agency reported, citing a local security official.

More than 90 people were also injured in the attack in Tayaran Square in the city center, police captain Ahmed Khalaf told the agency.

He said two bombers blew themselves up at the morning rush hour in the square.

The Iraqi interior ministry earlier said 16 people had been killed in the attack.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.

The bombing on Jan. 15 is the deadliest since the Iraqi army dislodged the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) group from northern and western Iraq last year.
