Baghdad bombings: At least 120 killed in two Iraq blastsAL JAZEERA Dozens are dead, including many children, and hundreds wounded in two attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. However, within Baghdad, security forces that screen for explosives at the ubiquitous checkpoints in and around the city often rely on electronic wands that have been repeatedly discredited. It was the deadliest bombing in Iraq since July 2015, when a truck bombing in eastern Diyala province killed at least 115 people. A second bombing early Sunday on another busy commercial street in a Shiite-dominated neighbourhood, this one in east Baghdad, killed five people and wounded 16, authorities said.
