Militants launched separate attacks shortly after sunset Sunday around the Iraqi capital, killing at least 10 people, officials said. The deadliest took place in Baghdad's eastern neighborhood of Sadr City when a car bomb exploded in an outdoor market for secondhand motorcycles and bicycles, killing six civilians and wounding 21, AP quoted a police officer as saying. Another police officer said a bomb-laden motorcycle exploded in Baghdad's northern Waziriyah neighborhood, killing three civilians and wounding 12. Gunmen in a speeding car also attacked a police checkpoint in the nearby town of Tarmiyah, killing one and wounding three, authorities said. The town is located about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Baghdad. Three medical officials confirmed the casualty figures.
