Car bombs at market in central Iraq kill 15
None
Attackers detonated explosives hidden in a produce-laden pickup truck and two other vehicles parked around a market in central Iraq early Monday, killing 15 people in the latest in a spike of violence ravaging the country.
The three parked car bombs exploded virtually simultaneously, tearing through a wholesale fruit and vegetable market at the height of business in the town of Jidaidat al-Shatt. The town is just outside the city of Baqouba, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad. (AP)
