At least six people have been killed and 42 wounded in a twin car bombing in central Baghdad, Iraqi officials say.

The vehicles blew up within minutes of each other outside government offices and a bank near Nisoor Square in the capital's al-Yarmouk district.

One building contained an interior ministry office where identity cards are issued, and people had been queuing outside at the time of the blasts.

There has been increased unrest in Iraq since March's parliamentary election.

Seriously, this topic perplexes me.

First of all, you copied an article straight from some news source without crediting it, which annoys me. Second, this is completely random, and because of that I can't shake the feeling that this topic is an attempt to show off that you read the news. Third, there have been car bombs going off in Iraq constantly for the past 6 years. Tragic, but hardly newsworthy and an odd choice for making a world news thread, a type of topic that Off-Topic almost never sees.
