Iraq violence:100 killed in car bombing

A car bomb has killed at least 100 people at a busy market in an Iraqi town, officials have said. The attack happened in the predominantly Shia town of Khan Bani Saad, north of the capital Baghdad. Children were among those dead in the explosion, which came as people celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Islamic State (IS) group, which control swathes of the country, has said it was behind the attack. A statement from the group said one of their members drove three tonnes of explosives into a crowd. Police major Ahmed al-Tamimi, told Reuters the damage was "devastating".
