Dozens

killed in Baghdad bombing

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least 57 people have been killed and more than 220 injured after a

suicide attacker detonated a large bomb in a central Baghdad square.

The man detonated an explosives-packed pick-up truck after

reportedly attracting crowds of Shia labourers to his vehicle with the

promise of work.

Reports of another near-simultaneous blast could not be confirmed.

 

The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says this

appears to be the latest violence in a spiral of

sectarian attacks.

The blast in Tayaran square happened at about 0700 (0400 GMT), at a time

when it was crowded with day labourers from the Shia suburb of Sadr City who gather

there every day hoping to find work.
