Surge of violence in Iraq continues with 13 people killed
Sunni-led insurgents killed at least nine people, including women and children, with a car bomb in a crowded vegetable market in the town of Hillah today, in the second blast against Shiites in as many days, police said.
The death toll rose to nearly 100 from the previous day’s co-ordinated string of bombings and mortars in another town.
