Deadly blast in market latest in string of bombings across Iraq BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Explosives hidden beneath produce on a delivery truck detonated in a market north of Baghdad Thursday, killing 28 civilians and wounding 52, officials said. Medical and police officials said the dead from the bombing in Saadiya, in restive Diyala province, included eight women and six children between 8 and 14 years old, The New York Times reported. The driver of the truck walked away after he asked workers to unload his cargo, police said. The explosives went off a short time later. I went with my mother to get some fruit. I don't know where she is now. I can't find her," an 11-year-old boy, wounded in the arms and head, told the Times. Thursday's explosion is the latest in a string of bombings across Iraq in recent days, including multiple, seemingly coordinated bombings Wednesday in the capital city of Baghdad, killing at least 37 people and wounding scores more. On Sunday, explosions killed 44 people across Iraq, including 20 in a northern Turkmen-dominated city.
