Baghdad bomb kills 1, injures 6: Iraqi official

Baghdad, December 03: An Iraqi security official says a bomb at a roadside market in northern Baghdad killed one and wounded six people.

The official says the bomb was hidden inside a juice cart when it went off on Thursday morning in the primarily Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah.

The official says the explosion targeted civilians stopping at the makeshift market to buy juice and other items. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to release the information.

The attack comes after one of the least deadly periods in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion. Officials said November had one of the lowest civilian death tolls of the war.
