Double Hotel Bombing Strikes Iraqi Capital

On Thursday night, in Baghdad at two of the nicer hotels in the capital bombs were set off. The hotels that were targeted were two hotels where mostly tourists and wealthy Iraqi people stayed. The bombings of the hotels were coordinated with one another, because there was minutes between the two bombings. Each of the bombings were in cars, and therefore when the bomb went off the car exploded. In these bombings 15 people were killed and 42 were injured. The first bombing was in the Babylon Hotel. The second bombing was by the former Sheraton hotel. There is no information on who is responsible for the bombings. However, Sunni extremists have previously bombed hotels.
