Two sets of bombings in Sunni-majority neighbourhoods of Baghdad killed at least 11 people Thursday evening, security and medical officials said. Two roadside bombs that exploded in Amriyah in western Baghdad and a car bomb in the **rthern district of Adhamiyah also wounded at least 30 people, the sources said. The car bomb, which struck near the massive Abu Hanifa mosque, killed at least seven people and wounded 22 others, while the twin bombings in Amriyah left four others dead. The blasts occurred just ahead of the weekend in Baghdad, when markets and cafes are typically packed, and continue a trend of post-sunset attacks in the capital.
