BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A bomb killed 13 people and wounded 33 in the second attack
in as many months on Baghdad's much-loved Friday morning pet market, police
sources said.

The blast hit the Ghazil market in the city center about an hour before a weekly
11 a.m. (0800 GMT) vehicle curfew in the Iraqi capital, aimed at protecting mosques
during Friday noon prayers.

A police source said witnesses believed the bomb had been planted in a box that the
bomber had punched with air holes to pass it off as a container for birds. Parrots,
canaries, cats and more exotic pets are prime attractions at the market.
