Iraqi officials say twin suicide bombings in a busy Baghdad market have killed at least 32 people and injured 73 others. 

No one claimed responsibility for the attack, though the Iraqi military suspects the so-called Islamic State group is behind it. 

The bombings come just days after Iraq's government agreed to hold early elections in October. 

This is the first such attack to hit the Iraqi capital since January 2018.
