BAGHDAD (AP) — Two Iraqi security officials say a roadside bomb attack targeted a Baghdad suburb, killing at least 18 people and wounding dozens of others at a crowded market. The attack Monday took place in Sadr City. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. It happened a day before the Eid al-Adha holiday when the market was busy with shoppers. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the Islamic State group has claimed similar attacks in the area before.
