At least 13 people were killed and eight wounded in a car bomb attack on a market in a Shia dominated neighbourhood in Baghdad this afternoon.
The bomb exploded in the mostly Shia Saba'a al-Bor area, one day after a car bomb killed 29 people in a town north of the capital.
Iraq's majority Shia have witnessed a surge of attacks on their community in recent weeks in what US officials say is a campaign by the al Qaeda leader in Iraq to draw them into a sectarian civil war.
Last week, a triple suicide bombing at a Shia mosque in Baghdad killed up to 90 people.
