A car bomb ripped through a busy market area in eastern Baghdad on Monday morning, killing at least nine people, Iraqi officials said.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tThe explosives-laden car went off at the wholesale Jamila market in Baghdad’s Shiite district of Sadr City, a police officer said. The explosion also wounded 25 other people, he added, saying the death toll was expected to rise further, abcnews.go.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tA medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they aren’t authorized to talk to journalists.<\/p>\n

\n\tA plume of thick black smoke was billowing from the area and people were running away in panic. At the site, twisted metal and shards of glass littered the pavement, along with vegetables and other goods sold at the market.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt least one soldier was seen being evacuated from the scene, which was sealed off by security forces.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, though the attack had all the hallmarks of the Daesh group, which often claims responsibility for large-scale attacks targeting Shiite civilians in Iraq’s capital.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bombing came as US-backed Iraqi forces are in final stages of recapturing the northern town of Tal Afar from Daesh, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Syria’s border.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Sunday, Iraqi military said it had \u2018fully liberated\u2019 Tal Afar’s town center from Daesh militants. On Monday, the troops fought at the outskirts of al-Ayadia district, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest of Tal Afar, where most of the militants fled.<\/p>\n

\n\tTal Afar was one of the few remaining towns in Iraq still in Daesh hands following the liberation of Mosul in July from Daesh. The Sunni militant group still controls the northern town of Hawija, as well as Qaim, Rawa and Ana, in western Iraq near the Syrian border.<\/p>\n
