Iraqi police say two car bombs have exploded in a Shi'ite area of the capital, Martyring at least 10 people in the latest attack targeting Iraq's majority.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Authorities say the first blast Tuesday in Baghdad's Sadr City hit a group of laborers waiting for work. The bombing Martyred at least eight people and wounded more than 20 others.

Another explosion in the same district Martyred at least two people and wounded at least a dozen more.

An interior ministry official said the first bomb was exploded through a group of workers at around 6:45 am (0345 GMT) while the second exploded outside a bakery half an hour later.

A third car bomb exploded in Shula, a northwestern district of the capital, killing two people and wounding 16, while a fourth killed one person and wounded 13 in the northern neighborhood of Al-Hurriya, the official said.

Attacks against Shi'ite areas have Martyred more than 100 people in the past month, as a political crisis continues in the Shi'ite-led unity government.
