Two car bombs targeting pilgrims in Baghdad martyred at least 19 people and wounded dozens more on Saturday.
  
The attacks came as tens of thousands of Shiite pilgrims flocked to the Kadhimiyah area of the city for the climax of commemorations marking the martyrdom in 799 of Imam Musa Al-Kadhim, the seventh of 12 imams.

A medical source said that Baghdad hospitals had received 47 wounded people and the bodies of nine others from the first car bomb attack. An interior ministry official put the toll from the 12:15 pm (0915 GMT) blast on a highway near Shuala in north Baghdad at 14 dead and 32 wounded.
  
The interior ministry official said a second car bomb exploded at the Aden intersection near Kadhimiyah about 2:00 pm (1100 GMT), killing 18 people and wounding 36 others, while the medical source said that hospitals had received 25 bodies and 105 wounded from a second blast.
