A suicide bomber blew up his car near a crowded outdoor market northeast of Baghdad on Tuesday morning, killing at least 11 people and injuring at least 32 more in the predominantly Shiite district.
The incident occurred after a man drove a pick-up truck loaded with explosives that went off during rush hour at the fruit and vegetable market in the al-Rashidiya district. Police were forced to shut down several major roads around Baghdad as a result of the attack.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but it was very similar to recent attacks carried out by IS in neighboring towns.
