BAGHDAD,Iraq — Authorities in Iraq say a car bomb blast near a market has killed 10 people in the capital, Baghdad.
Police officials say the attack took place Sunday night when the car bomb hit a market and shops in Baghdad's Qahira neighborhood. At least 20 people were wounded in the attack.
Several cars and shops were burnt in the attack, police said.
Medical officials in nearby hospitals confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Nobody immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Baghdad and outlying areas see near-daily bombings. Many of them are later claimed by the Islamic State group, which seized large parts of the country during a stunning blitz last year.
