BBC News - Iraq crisis: Two bombs kill at least 20 in Baghdad
Sectarian tension has been rising in Iraq in recent months amid political chaos and an Islamic State offensive.

Last week, a car bomb in the mainly Shia neighbourhood of Jadida killed at least eight and wound about 20 others. There was also an attack on a Shia mosque.
The spate of attacks on Shia came after at least 68 people were shot dead at a Sunni mosque earlier in August, in a mass shooting blamed on Shia militia.
Tension between Shia and Sunni groups in Iraq has been further heightened by the advance of Islamic State militants and the Sunni groups allied with them.
