– 36 KILLED IN BAGHDAD BLAST
At least 36 people are now known to have died in the twin bomb blasts which hit Baghdad on Thursday 10/27/2011.
The first blast occurred in Ur, a mainly Shiaa district of northern Baghdad. The second went off as rescuers were evacuating the wounded. At least 78 people are said to have been injured in the roadside attacks.
There has been a resurgence in militant violence in Baghdad in recent weeks. The last US troops are preparing to leave Iraq by the end of the year. No group has said it carried out the bombings.
Official have blamed Al Qaeda for recent violence – which includes a string of car and roadside attacks that killed at least 28 people in Baghdad on 10/12/2010 (see – Huriya 10.12.11 ).
The increase in attacks has raised concern that violence might increase once the American military departs.
All USA troops will now leave by the end of 2011 after Washington and the Iraqi authorities failed to agree on plans to keep a US military training mission in Iraq after that deadline.
Despite the latest wave of attacks, violence across Iraq is much reduced since a peak in 2006-2007.
