The twin explosions knocked down a four-storey building in the Zafaraniyah district of the Iraqi capital, the official and a witness said.
‘A Katyusha rocket landed on a building in the Al-Qubyasi market. Five minutes later, 100 metres (yard) away from this building a car bomb went off,’ said the official after the blasts, which erupted at about 7:00 pm (1500 GMT).
A medical official who lives in the district and who saw the attacks told AFP: ‘There are dozens of bodies in the street. The building just collapsed. It was four-storeys, with homes and shops.’
