Dozens perish, hundreds wounded as multiple bombs rock Baghdad

A wave of car bombings rocked the Iraqi capital Baghdad, Tuesday morning, killing more than 100 people and wounding dozens of others. It was the worst violence to hit Baghdad, since October, when two massive car-bombs killed 155 people. Ambulances ferried the injured to hospitals across Baghdad, after a wave of powerful car-bombings struck at least four neighborhoods within minutes, rocking the city. A suicide-bomber also detonated his vehicle near a police patrol in the suburb of Dora, killing and wounding a number of students at a technical college near the explosion, as well as the policemen. Another bomb blast killed at least eight people and wounded at least 40 others, mostly children, at a middle school in the Shia neighbourhood of Sadr City. . . . and here
