BAGHDAD (AP) -- Police and medical officials say a car bomb has exploded in a market in southwest Baghdad, killing at least six people.
Hours earlier, at least five massive bombs hit apartment buildings across the capital, killing at least 39 people and wounding more than 130. It was the latest sign Iraq's fragile security could dissolve in the chaos of the unresolved election.
Police and health officials said the latest explosion happened around 1 p.m. in a Baghdad market. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as there were not authorized to release information.
