                          Iraq Bombings Kill 21 People

   Iraqi officials say at least 21 people were killed Thursday in a pair
   of bombings at two busy markets in and around Baghdad.
   Police say the deadliest attack occurred in the Sabaa al-Bour district
   north of the capital, where three bombs exploded, killing at least 14
   people. A separate bombing at the Dura area south of Baghdad killed
   seven.
   There have been no claims of responsibility.
   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.
   The attacks have raised fears of all-out sectarian warfare.
   The U.N. says more than 4,000 people have been killed between April and
   August of this year.
