Bombs kill at least 40 in suburb

A series of bombings in Iraq, including twin blasts in a busy street in a Baghdad suburb, killed at least 40 people Tuesday, Iraqi officials said. The deadliest of the day’s attacks came shortly before sunset, when a bomb exploded in Baghdad’s southeastern suburb of Jisr Diyala. Minutes later, a car bomb went off near the site of the first blast as people started gathering to help the victims of the initial explosion. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings.
