More than 95 dead in Baghdad attacks

August 20, 2009 in News

Baghdad yesterday suffered a string of attacks that left more than 95 people dead in the latest sign that violence in Iraq has intensified in the wake of a handover from US troops to Iraqi security forces. The attacks also wounded at least 500 in the bloodiest day in the capital since US troops withdrew from the country’s cities in late June. The two deadliest bombings were at the finance and foreign ministries, which are among the most heavily guarded buildings in Baghdad, Iraqi authorities said.
