Fresh violence strikes Baghdad

 

At least two people have been killed in a bicycle bombing in Baghdad, a day after a series of bombings left 101 people dead and 500 more wounded in the Iraqi capital.

Police and medical officials said at least 10 people were injured in Thursday's bombing, when an explosive attached to a bicycle went off in a market near the commercial Al-Rasheed street.
The blast followed the deadliest day of bombings in Iraq in more than a year when a string of explosions, including two lorry bombs, detonated near the government and diplomatic Green Zone in central Baghdad on Wednesday.
The relatives of people killed in Wednesday's attacks gathered outside a morgue in Baghdad on Thursday to collect the bodies of their loved ones for burial.
Mourners chanted "There is no god but Allah" as they carried the coffins out of the morgue, followed by weeping relatives.
