A car bomb has exploded in a crowded commercial district of the southern Iraqi city of Basra, killing at least 20 people and wounding at least 40.
The explosion occurred in the busy Algiers Street area of the city as crowds flocked to shops and restaurants after the daily Ramadan fast.

It appears to have targeted a police patrol, and reports say six officers were among the dead.

Basra, Iraq’s second city, is under the control of British forces.
