BAGHDAD (AFP) - Seven people have been killed in two bombings in Baghdad, in the latest in a wave of attacks against markets or shopping areas in the violence-wracked Iraqi capital.

Insurgents planted a motorcycle bomb in Shorja market -- Baghdad's oldest -- killing four people and wounding 20, security officials said Thursday.

The blast ripped through the market on the east side of the Tigris river in central Baghdad at around 11:00 am (0800 GMT).

"The bomb was strapped to a motorcycle which was parked on one side of the road that runs through the market," which has been a regular target of insurgents in the past year, a security official said.
