At least 69 people have been killed by a bomb blast in the eastern Sadr City area of Baghdad, Iraqi officials say.
Police said the device went off in a market place in the predominantly Shia area of the Iraqi capital.
More than 130 people were also reported to have been injured in the blast, one of the worst in Iraq this year.
It comes less than a week before US soldiers pull out of all Iraqi cities, a move the US said would not be affected by a recent surge in violence. - BBC Story
