12 killed in Baghdad blasts

Baghdad: At least 12 people have been killed in a series of attacks in the Iraqi capital on Wednesday.

Eight people died and 40 were injured after two mortar rounds were fired at the Haraj Market in northern Baghdad.

A suicide bomber also blew himself up on a bus in the Sadr City district of Baghdad, killing two people and wounding 15.

The attacks are the first in the Shiite Sadr City area since an enormous bomb killed more than 200 people in November.
