More bodies found after Baghdad attacks
Rescue crews pulled bodies from the rubble of bombed buildings today, the day after a barrage of co-ordinated attacks across eastern Baghdad neighbourhoods killed at least 64 people and wounded more than 280 within half an hour, police said.
The latest spasm of violence last night – which included explosives planted in apartments, car bombs and several rocket and mortar attacks on mainly Shiite neighbourhoods – came as Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said Iraqi forces should have control over most of the country by year’s end.
