At least six Iraqis were killed and 10 wounded when a bomb exploded in a market north of Baghdad today, hospital sources said.
They said the explosion occurred in Khan Bani Saad village, around 40 kilometres north of the capital. There were no further details.
Fighters trying to force foreign troops out of Iraq and destabilise the US-backed interim government of Prime Minister Mr Iyad Allawi launch regular attacks across the country, especially in areas west and north of Baghdad.
