TWO suicide bombers wearing vests stuffed with explosives blew themselves up in separate attacks in Iraq yesterday, killing 75 people, including many Iranian pilgrims, in the bloodiest day for more than a year.

Iraq’s electoral commission today ruled that more than 99% of the ballots from the December 15 elections were valid, opening the way for a new government to start coming together.

A car bomb detonated today next to an Iraqi police convoy and killed six people, including a six-year-old child and five police officers.

A suicide bomber set off his explosives in the middle of an Iraqi funeral procession, killing at least 30 people and wounding 36.
