Iraqi police say two car bombs have claimed the lives of more than 100 people in central Baghdad. More than 200 others have been wounded in the Sunday blasts.
The attackers struck just outside the Green Zone, the heavily fortified area that houses many government buildings.
Police say the first bombing hit the justice ministry. Minutes later, another massive car bomb exploded outside the provincial government headquarters.
Ambulances rushed to the scene. Private cars were also used to ferry the many wounded to hospitals.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
