Ten dead after explosion rips through amateur football game in Baghdad

Ten people were killed when a blast tore through an amateur football stadium in Iraq.

The explosion happened near a cafe and community pitch where a game was taking place.

Shrapnel tore through the residential area and damaged nearby homes, according to reports. 

It was earlier believed the explosion may have been caused by a device which was attached to a vehicle but that is disputed by some sources.

According to the Associated Press, security services are investigating whether it may have been triggered by an accident rather than a bomb.
