Car bombs kill 'at least 16' in Baghdad

Car bombs killed at least 16 people and injured dozens others in Baghdad and a Shiite holy city today, dashing hopes that the formation of a new government alone would provide a quick end to the country’s violence.

At least 25 others were killed or found dead today, including a US Marine who was wounded in the insurgent bastion of Anbar province in western Iraq, police and the US military said.
