More than 50 people have been killed in Iraq after a truck bomb targeted a crowded Baghdad market, officials say. The bomb struck in Jameela market in Sadr City, a district in the north-east of the Iraqi capital. Police and hospital officials told the Associated Press news agency at least 58 people were killed and 89 injured.
Sadr City, a predominantly Shia area, has been the target of several blasts by the radical Sunni militant group Islamic State (IS).
No group has yet said it was behind Thursday's attack on one of the city's largest markets.
