11 Killed in Baghdad Bomb Blast

Authorities in Iraq say a bomb blast in Baghdad's mostly
Shi'ite Sadr City district has killed at least 11 people
and wounded about 20 others.

Police said the blast occurred in the crowded al-Hamza
square early Wednesday as buses were gathering to pick
up passengers heading for work.

Sadr City is stronghold of the Mahdi Army militia loyal
to radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military says American troops have
detained what the military calls a "highly sought
individual" suspected of links to the al-Quds Force of
the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. The military
says the individual was captured during a pre-dawn raid
in the southern city of Karbala today.
