Wave of bombings, attacks in Iraq kill at least 47
A series of coordinated evening blasts in Baghdad and other violence killed at least 47 people in Iraq on Tuesday, officials said, the latest in a surge of bloodshed roiling the country this year.
Many of those killed were caught up in a string of car bombings that tore through the Iraqi capital early Tuesday evening as residents were out shopping or heading to dinner. Those blasts struck seven different neighborhoods and claimed at least 33 lives. (AP)
