At least 22 people have been killed and 60 others injured after a car bomb exploded in Iraq's capital, Baghdad.

Security officials said the car bomb went off near a salon at an outdoor market in Sadir City, a Shiite district, at around 10 AM local time. Hospital sources say most of the victims were women.

Authorities warn the death toll could still rise. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, though a news agency that supports ISIL claimed the attack targeted Shi'ite militia fighters.
