By IRNA,
Baghdad : A vehicle bomb in Baghdad killed 13 people and injured another 27 on Friday.
The explosion struck a market in Abu Dshir, a mainly Shia enclave in the predominantly Sunni district of Dora, in the south of the Iraqi capital.
The blast destroyed several shops and set vehicles ablaze. Women and children were said to be among the dead.
Dora had been known as an insurgent stronghold but analysts say security had improved in recent months.
The latest attack comes a day after an MP was killed by a roadside bomb.
Saleh al-Ogaili was the first MP to be killed in Iraq for 18 months.
Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said a high-level inquiry into the assassination was under way.
Also on Thursday, Abbas Khudair, the leader of an armed Sunni group working with US forces, was killed in a roadside bomb, along with two of his children and a nephew.
