Bombings Kill 3 in Iraqi Capital

   VOA News  February 15, 2011

   Iraqi  officials  say a pair of bombs killed at least three people and
   wounded six others in eastern Baghdad Tuesday.
   Officials   said   one   blast  struck  a  market  in  the  Zafaraniya
   neighborhood, while the second bomb targeted police a few blocks away.
   Meanwhile,  hundreds  of Iraqis protested in cities across the country
   against   corruption,   limited   basic   services  and  shortages  of
   electricity and food.
   They  were reports of protests in Fallujah, Baghdad's Shi'ite district
   of Sadr City, and other areas across Iraq.
   The  demonstrations are the latest in a series across the country that
   some  protest  groups  say  are  inspired  by uprisings throughout the
   Middle East.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
