Iraq bombing campaign continues unabated

Nearly 40 people have died in a rash of car bombings in Iraq’s capital in the space of 12 hours, including four co-ordinated blasts early today in central Baghdad that killed 15 and wounded 28 more, police said.

Today’s carnage in the capital’s Karradah area came on the heels of bloodshed late yesterday that included four car bombs exploding within minutes of one another.
