None

A wave of bombings targeting Shi'ites in Iraq killed 72 people on Thursday, deepening sectarian tensions that exploded just after the last American troops left the country in mid-December.

 

The coordinated attacks targeting Shiites bore the hallmarks of Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaeda, although there was no immediate claim of responsibility. (AP)
