Nearly Fifty Dead, 200 Wounded in Dozens of Car Bombings Across Iraq
Targeting Shi'ites
More than a dozen car bombs exploded in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and other cities on Monday, killing nearly 50 people and wounding more than 200 others. The bombers appeared to have targeted mostly Shi'ite areas. This year has been one of the deadliest since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Ambulances ferried victims of a bomb blast in Baghdad's mostly Shi'ite district of Sadr City. Witnesses say a blast inside a minivan transporting Shi'ite workers killed more than half a dozen people.
