- 10 years ago
Blood spills on the streets of Baghdad with dozens killed in a series of car bomb attacks in Iraq.
Car bombs killed at least 30 people Sunday with attackers mainly targeting busy commercial streets in the capital. Nearly 100 people were wounded in the attacks.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. But al Qaeda has increased its grip across the country since the escalation of the crisis in neighboring Syria.
Violence in Iraq is at the highest level in at least five years and the capital is targeted almost on a daily basis.
The UN says more than 8,000 people have been killed in Iraq this year.
