Baghdad bombings kill six

At least six people were killed Sunday in two separate bombings in Baghdad, police said, dpa reported.

The first bombing occurred in a marketplace in the area of al-Shurga in central Baghdad, a police source told dpa.

A second bomb went off in the capital city's Jameela district, he added.

At least 10 people were injured in the two bombings, the source said.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombings.

Iraqi authorities have tightened security across the country for the Muslim festival Eid al-Adha that began Sunday.

Violence in Iraq had steadily dropped after Sunni-Shiite bloodshed peaked in 2006. But in recent months, bombings and attacks have again become an almost daily event.
