BAGHDAD, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Three people were killed in a car bomb in eastern Baghdad, the fifth to explode on Thursday, police sources said. Earlier a triple car bombing killed 10 and wounded 30 in a wholesale vegetable market in southern Baghdad and a fourth car bomb killed four and wounded 10 when it exploded in a busy market in central Baghdad.

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.
