                        Bombings Across Baghdad Kill 25

   by VOA News

   A series of bombings in and around Iraq's capital has killed at least
   25 people.
   Baghdad police said  the Sunday blasts hit primarily Shi'ite
   neighborhoods and wounded at least 70 other people.
   While no one claimed responsibility, Sunni insurgents have been
   targeting security forces and civilians in Shi'ite areas in a bid to
   undermine Iraq's Shi'ite led-government.
   Authorities said the deadliest attack Sunday was a car bomb in
   Baghdad's Bayaa district, where a parked vehicle exploded near car
   workshops, killing seven people and wounding 14.
   Other bombings struck markets and shops in the areas of Amil, Ghadeer
   and Radhwaniya.
   Unrest in Iraq has spiked since the security forces stormed a Sunni
   protest camp north of Baghdad in April.
   Violence this year in Iraq has been the worst since 2008.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
