Car bomb kills 28 people in Baghdad

Baghdad: Two car bombs exploded in an outdoor market in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 28 people in the deadliest attack since US and Iraqi forces began a major security push around the capital.

The twin blasts tore through the open-air market in the mostly Shiite district of New Baghdad. At least 85 people were injured, said a police official, who spoke on condition because he was not authorized to speak to media.

A separate car bomb in the mostly Shiite area of Sadr City killed at least one person and injured 10, police said.
