Explosions rocked a Baghdad university as students were leaving at the end of classes today, killing at least 65 people and wounding at least 138, police and hospital officials said.

There were conflicting reports about the nature of the explosions. Some police said two minibuses waiting to take students home after the day of classes exploded at 3:45pm on the grounds of Al-Mustansiriya University in north-central Baghdad.
