31 dead in Baghdad market blast

A bomb planted on a minibus killed 31 people in a fish market in a mostly Shiite town south of Baghdad today, while police imposed curfews in some Sunni areas to prevent any outbreak of violence after Saddam Hussein's execution.

The blast occurred in Kufa, a Shiite town 100 miles south of the Iraqi capital, but there was no indication it was related to Saddam's death.
