| Twin explosions in an open-air market killed 62 and wounded more than 129, including many female shoppers, in mostly Shiite areas. |
 At least 63 people were killed and 139 others injured in car bombs Sunday in Baghdad in the middle of a U.S.-led security clampdown on militants there, the Associated Press reported. The report said twin explosions in an open-air market killed 62 and wounded more than 129, including many female shoppers, in mostly Shiite areas. Another car bomb in the Shiite enclave of Sadr City left at least one dead and 10 wounded, police said, according to AP. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned the bombing as a desperate act by "terrorists" and "criminals" who he said sense they are being squeezed, the report said. |
