BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Eighty people were killed and 150 more wounded after a suicide truck driver detonated his cargo in a crowded market in Baghdad on Saturday, police said.

The blast, which destroyed stores and automobiles, erupted in Sedriya, a mixed neighborhood of Sunni Arabs, Shiites and Kurds.

In another car bombing in a Baghdad neighborhood, one person was killed and six others were wounded when a bomb went in a commercial district, a Baghdad police official said.

Back in Baghdad, a passenger was killed and four others were wounded when their minibus struck a roadside bomb in eastern Baghdad's Beirut Square, the Baghdad police said. The minibus was headed to Sadr City.

In the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, nine blasts within two hours left at least two people dead and 20 wounded, a Kirkuk deputy police chief said.

Seven of the blasts came from car bombs, while the others were roadside explosives. One of the car bombs detonated at the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party.

5. MSNBC sais 82 dead. Announcer says Reuters says 15 more than
that. She said the insurgents are trying to kill as many as possible before the surge happens. I wonder if there is something to this Feb 5th date mentioned in some blogs or whatever.

and he's saying it went from 45 and they've had to keep revising it.
