Ten die in market attack on Shi’ites

SUNNI-LED insurgents killed at least 10 people with a car bomb in a crowded vegetable market yesterday as Iraqi security forces said they had captured a woman wearing explosives hidden under her clothes.

The discovery came two days after the first known blast by a female suicide attacker in Iraq, which raised fears of a new insurgent strategy.

An Iraqi general said the woman was heading for a crowded weekly secondhand goods market in Baghdad when she was detained.
