(CNN) At least 27 people were killed Monday in a double suicide bombing in central Baghdad, according to the Iraqi Ministry of Health. In addition to those killed, about 100 people were wounded when two bombers detonated suicide vests at a square in the Iraqi capital, officials said. An Iraqi security officer stands guard at the site of the double suicide bombing on Monday. On Saturday, a suicide bomber attacked Aden Square in northern Baghdad, killing and wounding several people, according to security officials. Baghdad became a key target for attacks by ISIS fighters as the terror group gained swathes of territory in Iraq in 2014.
