Car bombs and a suicide bomber left at least 75 people dead and more
than 100 wounded Saturday. At least 66 people were killed in car bomb
attacks on markets in a Shiite area of Baghdad and the southern Shiite
town of Kufa.
31 people died and 58 were injured when a bomb planted on a minibus
exploded in a fish market in a mostly Shiite town south of Baghdad.
The second struck a busy market in Baghdad's northwestern district of
Hurriyah, killing at least 36 people and wounding another 77, an
Interior Ministry official said.
Three car bombs went off nearly simultaneously in that attack, two on
a side street near a shopping area, and a third nearby, he said.
