It looks like this city may just never rest......Read on
Car bombs ripped through busy streets and markets in Iraq on today, killing at least 60 people in predominantly Shi'ite areas in some of
the deadliest violence since Sunni insurgents stepped up attacks this year.
The 17 blasts, which appeared to be coordinated, were
concentrated on towns and cities in Iraq's mainly Shi'ite south, and districts
of the capital where Shi'ites live.
Militant groups including Al Qaeda have increased attacks in
recent months in an insurgency against the Shi'ite-led government as a civil
war in neighbouring Syria heightens sectarian tensions.
The violence has raised fears of a return to full-blown inter-community
conflict in a country where ethnic Kurds, majority Shi'ites and Sunni Muslims
have yet to find a stable way of sharing power
