                           Car Bombs Kill 14 in Iraq

   Multiple car bombs have exploded in the Iraqi capital, killing at least
   14 people and wounding dozens of others.
   The blasts Thursday hit several neighborhoods in Baghdad.
   There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.
   They follow a pair of bombings Wednesday in Baquba, north of Baghdad,
   that killed 14 people.
   Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki vowed on Wednesday to continue
   confronting terrorism, and said 800 suspects have been arrested in a
   security crackdown.
   Iraq has seen a surge in terrorism and violence this year amid tension
   between the country`s Sunni minorities and the Shi`ite-led government.
   More than 3,000 people have been killed.
   On Monday, the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
   claimed responsibility for a series of deadly bombings last week and
   threatened more violence.
