BAGHDAD, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Two suicide car bombers killed at least 10 people and wounded 35 in a mainly Shi'ite area of eastern Baghdad on Saturday, police sources said.

The bombers detonated their vehicles in close succession near a busy intersection in the commercial street of the capital's New Baghdad district.

There has been a spate of bombings in Baghdad this week.

Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has vowed to tackle militants from across the sectarian divide with equal force in a planned crackdown in the capital.

An Indian policeman detains a Kashmiri Shia Muslim mourner during the Ashura procession in Srinagar January 28, 2007. Indian police used tear gas and batons on Sunday to disperse Shia Muslims as they marched to mark the death of the Prophet's grandson in Kashmir's main city, wounding more than 20 people, police said. Muslims all over the world mourn the slaying of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Prophet Mohammed during the first ten days of the first Islamic month of Moharram and Ashura is the tenth and concluding day of mourning. Imam Hussein was killed by his political rivals along with 72 companions in Iraq some 1300 years ago.
