Updated numbers on this report from yesterday.
[Iraq News] At least 121 people were killed and injured in a deadly twin suicide kaboom in central Baghdad in the wee hours of Monday, a security source was quoted as saying.

Speaking to Baghdad Today, the source said, "The corpse count from the twin suicide kaboom that rocked al-Tayaran Square in central Baghdad early on Monday rose to 26, while 95 others were maimed."

"There are coppers among the casualties," the source said, adding that the kaboom caused severe damage to vehicles that were at the scene.

Another security source told Shafaq News that the kabooms took place "after two jacket wallahs wearing boom belts blew themselves up at a crowded site near al-Tayaran Square where many construction workers were gathered."
