Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Multiple car bombings killed at least 26 people on
Friday in Shiite-dominated areas of Iraq, including an outdoor pet market in a
Baghdad neighborhood.

Two car bombs exploded at the market -- a popular place for young men to buy
and sell birds and other animals -- in Kadhimiya, in northwestern Baghdad. The
blasts killed 16 people and wounded 45 others, Baghdad police officials said.

That type of market tends to be very busy on Fridays, part of the weekend in
Iraq, and have been targeted in the past by attackers.
In February 2008, about 100 people were killed by bomb attacks at two other pet
markets in Baghdad.
Other attacks Friday took place in al-Shomali, a town in the mainly Shiite
province of Babil, south of Baghdad.
There, two car bombs exploded Friday morning, killing 10 people and wounding 40
others, police and health officials in the nearby city of Hilla said.
Iraq continues to be racked by lethal bomb and gun attacks, although the level
of violence has dropped considerably since the height of sectarian unrest in
the country during 2006 and 2007.
