Baghdad : At least 35 people were killed and 75 wounded in a suicide bomb explosion in central Baghdad Friday morning, an interior ministry source said.
A woman wearing an explosive vest blew herself up at the crowded popular market of Soug al-Ghazil, the ministry said.
The Soug al-Ghazil market has been attacked several times in the past.
On Nov 24, the US military blamed Iranian-backed Shia militant groups for a bomb attack in the market that killed 13 people and wounded 57.
Sporadic attacks continue in Baghdad, dealing a blow to the security situation in the capital after a relative lull in violence as a result of the US military surge.
