BAGHDAD, July 15 (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded near a busy shopping square in central Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 10 people, Iraqi police said.

Twenty-five people were wounded by the blast, which ripped through shops and restaurants near Hussein Square in the mainly Shi'ite Jadriya district. Two women were among the dead.

U.S. and Iraqi forces have launched a major security clampdown in the capital targeting militants blamed for indiscriminate attacks fomenting sectarian hatred, but violence continues to flare.
