Car bomb kills 47 in Baghdad
A huge car bomb blast has torn through a crowded market close to a Baghdad police headquarters building, killing at least 47 people in the deadliest single attack in the Iraqi capital in six months.

Washington says Zarqawi is its top enemy in Iraq and has put a $25 million (13.9 million pound) price on his head.
"With the grace of God, a lion from our martyrdom brigades was successful in striking a centre for apostate police volunteers," said the statement, which could not be verified.
