Bombs hidden in plastic bags near a falafel stand went off at a market in a mainly Shiite area in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least eight civilians and injuring 21, Iraqi officials said. According to the AP, the bags packed with explosives were left among a pile of garbage and blew up shortly before 8 p.m. as the district was crowded with people enjoying the evening.
Several nearby stores were also damaged, according to police and hospital officials. Five children were among the wounded, they said.
