BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - At least 16 people were killed when a power generator exploded in a market in the center of Iraqi oil hub Basra Saturday, a hospital source said.
Around 110 people were admitted to hospitals, the source said.
"We're investigating the cause. We don't know whether it was a terrorist attack or something else," said Ali al-Maliki, the head of the security committee in the Basra council.
A Reuters correspondent said he heard at least two explosions.
