Iraq officials say three explosions have rocked a busy market in the capital, killing at least 6 people and wounding more than 20.

The blasts in Baghdad's Shorja market set fire to part of the commercial district Sunday, the first day of the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.

Violence across Iraq has dropped, but deadly attacks still happen nearly everyday as the U.S. moves to withdraw all of its 33,000 troops from the country by the end of the year.
