Iraqi officials say a car bomb detonation in a commercial, mainly Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad has killed at least 14 people. A police officer says the explosives-laden car went off today at a crowded outdoor market in Baghdad's eastern district of Sadr City.
The explosion also wounded up to 40 people, several seriously, and there are fears the death toll will rise. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which bore the hallmarks of the extremist Islamic State group that has been behind recent deadly attacks in the area.
IS also controls significant areas in northern and western Iraq, including the second-largest city of Mosul.
