A day after deadly blasts have left more than up to 70 martyrs, Iraq violence is still going on with two more visitors are killed on Friday.


Two bombs exploded on Friday morning on separate bridges in the Dura neighbourhood of south Baghdad, an interior ministry official and a doctor at Yarmuk hospital said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, both put the toll at two dead and seven wounded.


On Thursday, at least 68 people were martyred in a spate of violence that targeted visitors.


The deadliest incident saw at least 45 people killed by a suicide attacker on the outskirts of the southern city of Nasiriyah as visitors were walking to the holy shrine city of Karbala for Arbaeen commemorations.


Arbaeen marks 40 days after the Ashura anniversary commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (pbuh).
Five bombings also struck two neighborhoods of north Baghdad, killing 23 people and wounding dozens.
