Two bombs explode in Baghdad Tue Feb 7, 2006 7:35 AM GMT
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two bombs exploded near a compact disc shop in central Baghdad on Tuesday and police said casualties were feared.
Police said a crowd had gathered near the shop beside a crowded market after one bomb exploded and a second device went off.
The attack took place in the Bab al-Sharjee area, where suicide bombers have killed police, security forces and labourers in the past.
Rebels have frequently lured police and civilians to one bomb site and then attacked them with another bomb.
Sunni insurgents waging a bloody campaign to topple the Shi'ite-led government have killed many thousands of mostly Shi'ite security forces and civilians.
