February 28, 2007 -- At least 10 people have been killed in a car bomb blast on a busy market street in Baghdad's Bayaa neighborhood.
The latest attack follows reports on February 27 of a car bomb that killed 18 people, mostly children, in the town of Al-Ramadi.
Meanwhile, a U.S. military statement says troops killed eight suspected Al-Qaeda militants and captured six in air and ground raids in Taji, north of Baghdad.
