through Baghdad on Thursday, leaving at least 24 people dead and 67 wounded, according to an Interior Ministry source.</span></p>
<p class="style8">In the day's deadliest attack, 10 died after three car bombs detonated nearly simultaneously at a popular vegetable market in
southern Baghdad's Dora district. The blast wounded 30 people, according to an Interior Ministry official.</p>
<p class="style8">Lettuce and bloodstained clothes littered the ground among the debris left by buildings and vehicles, according to The
Associated Press. The blast's impact caused a metal roof to blow off from a loading area, leaving a van burned out, with lettuce and onions still on
top of it, the AP said.</p>
