Market blasts and other bombings across Iraq killed at least 33 people and wounded nearly 100 today, spurring security officials to clamp down on traffic as Shiite Muslims brace for more tragedy during pilgrimages this week.

Gunmen in two speeding cars killed a Sunni Arab banker as he was leaving his house in northern Iraq this morning, police said.

Dozens of insurgents stormed an Iraqi jail in the Sunni Muslim heartland north of Baghdad about dawn today and freed all 33 prisoners.
