Attacks Kill 12 In Iraqi Market Two car bombs and a suicide attacker have killed at least 12 people in Iraq. Officials say the blasts erupted Monday in a food market in the mainly Shi`ite town of Jadida al-Shat, some 40 kilometers north of Baghdad. The attacks come a day after a suicide car bomb in the Iraqi capital killed seven people and wounded at least 18 others. Sunday`s blast struck the Shi`ite neighborhood of Kadhimiyah in northern Baghdad. No group has claimed responsibility for the latest attacks. Violence in Iraq has escalated in recent weeks, raising concern of a return to widespread sectarian attacks. Officials have blamed recent violence on Sunni Islamist insurgents. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/attacks-kill-12-in-iraqi-market/16785 07.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/attacks-kill-12-in-iraqi-market/1678507.html
