The blast occurred at 2:45 p.m. on the Wathba Square near the Sadriyah market, one of the main commercial areas in the capital. Police said three officers were among the 17 people killed and five were among the 46 wounded. Sadriyah has been hit by several blasts usually blamed on suspected Sunni insurgents targeting commercial areas to kill as many people as possible in their bid to derail a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown that began more than 12 weeks ago. On April 18, 127 people were killed in a car bombing in the same area.
