Bombs kill 21, wound 42 in Iraqi capital (Reuters)

BAGHDAD (Reuters) ? Three bombs exploded near a market and a religious site in southwestern Baghdad on Thursday, killing at least 21 people and wounding 42 others, hospital and security sources said.

The explosions occurred in quick succession in the Shurta district of the Iraqi capital, the sources said.

A hospital source said at least 21 were killed and 42 wounded, while an Interior Ministry source put the toll at 21 dead and 86 wounded.

Violence has dropped sharply in Iraq since the peak of sectarian slaughter in 2006-07 but insurgents still carry out bombings and other attacks daily.
