12 killed, 50 wounded in Baghdad car blast
At least 12 people have been killed and 50 wounded in a blast in eastern Baghdad, after a car bomb went off, police and doctors say, according to Reuters.
The attack took place at a vegetable market in a mainly Shiite district of eastern Baghdad.

The explosion comes less than a week after a similar blast killed 36 people and wounded 52 in the Sadr City area of the Iraqi capital. Islamic State (IS, ISIS/formerly ISIL) claimed responsibility for that blast, saying they targeted Shia Muslims.
