Iraq: 35 Die in Latest Round of Attacks Iraq: 35 Die in Latest Round of Attacks
(34 minutes later)
A wave of car bombs rocked commercial streets in Baghdad on Tuesday, part of a series of attacks across the country that left 31 victims and 4 attackers dead. The bombings were believed to have been carried out by Sunnis aiming to undermine confidence in the Shiite-led government. Sunni leaders in Basra said gunmen had killed 17 Sunnis there over the past two weeks, after threats to retaliate against them for attacks on Shiites in other parts of Iraq. The surge of bloodshed is in its fifth month, although death tolls are still lower than at the height of the sectarian conflict in 2004 to 2008.
