• Three car bombings kill 10 at popular Baghdad market in Shiite Dora district |
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- More than half-a-dozen bombs and a mortar attack ripped through Baghdad on Thursday, leaving at least 24 people dead and 67 wounded, according to an Interior Ministry source. In the day's deadliest attack, 10 died after three car bombs detonated nearly simultaneously at a popular vegetable market in southern Baghdad's Dora district. The blast wounded 30 people, according to an Interior Ministry official. Lettuce and bloodstained clothes littered the ground among the debris left by buildings and vehicles, according to The Associated Press. The blast's impact caused a metal roof to blow off from a loading area, leaving a van burned out, with lettuce and onions still on top of it, the AP said. |
