Blast Kills 33, Wounds Dozens in Baghdad
07.23.2006, 03:50 AM

A suicide bomber blew up a minibus at a Baghdad market on Sunday, killing at least 33 people in addition to himself, police said.

Another 72 people, including women and children, were wounded in the attack in the Shiite district of Sadr City. The minivan exploded around 9 a.m., as the market was starting to get crowded, said police Lt. Kadhim al Garawi.

AP video from the scene showed the van's blackened hulk and an old man with bloody clothing crying for a missing relative.

Iraqi police cleared the area, warning over loudspeakers that anyone staying behind would be questioned.

Hours earlier, U.S. and Iraqi army units raided homes in the same area, killing at least one civilian and arresting seven, police said.

Earlier this month, another car bombing in Sadr City killed 66 people.
