Exactly when we can see the quiet Iraq ?
A bomb blast at a market place in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad has left over fifty people dead and many more injured, police say.
At least 104 others were wounded in the blast which occurred in a crowded food market in Baghdad's Shia neighborhood of Sadr City on Wednesday.
Police say the bomb was hidden under vegetables on a pushcart near a market, adding that the death toll is expected to rise as some of the wounded are in a critical condition.
The deadly attack comes nearly a week ahead of the deadline set for US combat troops' withdrawal from Iraq's urban centers, as part of a security accord between Baghdad and Washington.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has repeatedly said that the militant attacks are likely to rise in the coming weeks to "undermine confidence in Iraq's own security forces."
