Baku-APA. At least 31 people were killed and 56 others wounded in two car bomb attacks at a parliamentary election rally in Iraq's capital city of Baghdad on Friday, an Interior Ministry source said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
The two back-to-back bombings struck as supporters of the Sadiqun bloc, the political wing of Iraqi Shiite group Asaeb Ahel al-Haq, were holding a parliamentary election rally near a sports club in east Baghdad, the source said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.
The attack came just less than one week from Iraq's April 30 parliamentary elections, the first in the country since the U.S. troops withdrew in late 2011.
