BAGHDAD (AP)–A blast at a fruit market in a predominantly Shiite area in Baghdad Thursday killed at least 13 people, police said.
It came shortly after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and U.S. officials announced that militant mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been killed in an air strike north of Baghdad.
Two women were among the 13 killed when the bomb detonated at the entrance of the market, severely damaging several shops, police Col. Ahmed Abod said, adding that at least 39 people were wounded in that attack.
A bomb also struck a police patrol in the New Baghdad area in eastern Baghdad about an hour earlier, police said.
The explosion killed two policemen and four civilians and wounded 11 other people, including three policemen, Lt. Ali Abbas said.
