BAGHDAD, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Two roadside bombs exploded in a Baghdad street that was crowded with civilians on Wednesday, killing at least four people and wounding 25, police said.

The bombings occurred in the Diyala Bridge district of southern Baghdad. It is in a mainly Shi'ite Muslim part of the capital.

Police sources said the bombs exploded almost simultaneously near a busy market in an area where people had gathered for transport to their jobs.

Some police sources put the death toll as high as eight.

An Iraqi teenager stands in front of billboards in an amusement park in the northern Iraqi city of Dahuk, 50km (40 miles) from the Turkish border, October 26, 2007. For people to the south in Iraq's capital Baghdad -- where people scurry home in the late afternoon to endure nights of crackling gunfire, thudding mortars, wailing sirens and the thunder of helicopters overhead -- such a scene is but a dream. But as Turkey gears up for a potential attack on separatist PKK rebels hiding in Iraqi Kurdistan's mountains, fear is rising here that this region's stability too may crumble.
