A minibus packed with explosives blew up near a police station and a market north of Baghdad July 28, 2004, killing 68 people and wounding 30 in the worst attack since the handover of power exactly one month ago. The powerful suicide bomb left a sea of destruction, obliterating market stalls and destroying several buildings. It raises fears of a fresh insurgent campaign just days before Iraq holds a major political conference to plot its future. (Reuters Graphic)
