(Reuters) - A third lethal car bomb hit a Shi'ite neighborhood in Baghdad on Saturday night, killing 15 people and wounding 44 others, a police officer and a medical official said.

The suicide attacker detonated his car on a busy street in the Shaoula neighborhood, where a parked car had exploded 30 minutes earlier by an ice cream shop. That attack left eight dead and 18 wounded.

A suicide car bomb also went off in the adjoining neighborhood of Kadhimiya, killing 11 and wounding 27.
