Terrorist attacks in Iraq leave nearly fifty people dead. Several car bombs targeted Shia districts of the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the southern city of Hilla. The blasts come a day after over twenty people were killed in various bomb explosions in the capital. Last month, more than one thousand people lost their lives in a surge of violence. The bloodshed is largely blamed on al-Qaeda-linked militants. The government has launched an operation against the militants in the western province of Anbar. Show Less >>
