Iraq blast victims treated in hospital
- 12 years ago
Bomb victims in Iraq are treated in a hospital on the outskirts of Bagdad.
At least 13 were killed and more than 100 wounded on Friday after a double bombing blasted through a crowded market.
The twin blasts are the latest attacks targeting Shi'ite Muslims.
The wave of bombings against mainly Shi'ite pilgrims and shrines throughout June has killed over 130 people.
It has also fueled fears that the country could descend into sectarian violence that peaked in 2006 and 2007 as warring factions vie for power.
