Iraq: Gunmen kill 'at least 29' in attack in Baghdad
Al-Huriya News Agency - The attack took place late on Saturday in the neighbourhood of Zayouna in east Baghdad, police said. One officer said he "found bodies everywhere".
The motive for the killings is not clear. No group has said it carried out the attack. Reports said the two buildings were suspected to be brothels.
Writing left on the door of one of the buildings read: "This is the fate of any prostitution," AFP news agency reports. Locals in Zayouna have accused Shia militias of killing women thought to be prostitutes, Reuters news agency reported. The neighbourhood is a mixed district of Sunni and Shia Muslims.
A brothel in Zayouna was attacked in May 2013, with seven women and five men shot dead. Prostitution is prohibited under Islam, the dominant religion in Iraq.
