Baghdad, Nov 25 (DPA) At least one person was killed and 46 injured when two bombs exploded in the central Iraqi city of Karbala Wednesday, doctors said.

Minutes later, a second bomb rigged to a bicycle exploded just outside the restaurant, witnesses said.
Police sealed off the area, and emergency workers arrived to take the injured to hospital.
Karbala, 120 km south of Baghdad, is the site of important Shiite religious shrines.
