BAGHDAD, Jan 22 (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed and 40 others wounded when a bomb exploded in a market near Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, on Monday, police sources said. A double car bombing near central Baghdad's crowded Bab al- Sharji market killed 75 people on Monday.

Tens of thousands of people have fled Baghdad, the epicentre of violence in Iraq. The United Nations, launching an appeal for aid for Iraqis who have fled their homes or left the country, said this month about one in eight Iraqis is now displaced. Many, including non-Kurds, have taken refuge in Kurdistan -- a largely autonomous region in the northern mountains that has been a haven from attacks plaguing other areas since the U.S. invasion of 2003.
