Car bomb kills 21 in Iraq market

At least 21 people have been killed by a car bomb in northern
Iraq.

About 70 people were also injured when the bomb exploded in a
vegetable market in Tal Afar, 420km (260 miles) north-west of
Baghdad.

The town, near Mosul, is in a region where al-Qaeda in Iraq is
said to have regrouped since being forced from Baghdad by a US
and Iraqi offensive.

The vehicle was parked when it exploded by the market, which
was crowded with shoppers on the Muslim day of rest.
