Two car bombs went off in a market located east Baghdad on Saturday, killing at least three people and wounding 12, police and witnesses said.
An eyewitness told Reuters many shops in the market were set on fire, with people trapped inside. Police said in an initial statement there were at least three dead and a dozen wounded.
Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan arrived in the Iraqi capital on Saturday for an unannounced visit and will meet Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, a U.N. spokeswoman said. This is Annan's first visit in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in March 2003.
