Baghdad Bombing Wave Kills At Least 47, Wounds 132 -- RT
The Iraqi capital was hit by a series of attacks, mostly by car bombs, in predominantly Shiite and commercial areas. At least 24 people have been killed and 87 wounded, Iraqi officials said, although media sources put the death toll much higher.
The bombings on Wednesday are the latest in a spike in violence in Iraq over the past months as rebels attempt to derail the Shiite-led government's struggle to stabilize the country.
Five of the blasts came from parked cars, while at least one was initiated by a remotely detonated bomb, police said. The deadliest attack occurred in the central Sadria neighborhood, where a car bomb exploded at an outdoor market, killing five shoppers and wounding 15 more, authorities said.
