BAGHDAD, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb ripped through a busy market on Thursday, killing 10 people and injuring 20 shortly before the evening Iftar meal when Muslims break their fasting in the month of Ramadan, interior ministry sources said.

The bomb hit the town of Khalis, 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, in a mixed area that has been hit by many sectarian attacks.
