BAGHDAD (AP) - A car bomb tore through a crowded livestock market south of Baghdad on Thursday, killing at least 13 people in a mainly Shiite area that the U.S. military has described as one of the safest in Iraq.
The blast, which wounded 57 others, struck the market at the height of trading, scattering animal carcasses and human remains across the dirt.
"We had just started to have our breakfast in a tea shop inside the livestock market when we saw huge flames rising, and people started to run," Hussein Abdul-Kadir said. "We saw several bodies and carcasses, some burned and on the ground."
Abdul-Kadir, one of dozens of merchants, farmers, butchers and buyers at the market, said many people carried the wounded to their cars to take them to the hospital.
