BAGHDAD, Jan 17 (Reuters) - A bomb ripped through a crowded market in Sadr City, a poor Shi'ite district in northeast Baghdad, killing at least three people and wounding 10 more on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry source said.

Sadr City is the Baghdad stronghold of the Mehdi Army, a militia loyal to radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
