                          Bomb Attacks Kill 39 in Iraq

   A series of bomb attacks in Iraq has killed at least 39 people and
   wounded 65 others.
   The deadliest blast Wednesday was a suicide bombing at a funeral in
   Buhriz, about 60 kilometers north of Baghdad, which killed at least 16
   people.
   In the capital, at least six car bombs exploded in mainly Shi`ite areas
   of the city.
   There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.
   Violence in Iraq has reached a level not seen since 2008 when the
   country was emerging from a period of brutal sectarian killings between
   the country`s Sunnis and Shi`ites.
   U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Monday during a visit to Iraq
   that he was especially worried about the country`s deteriorating
   security situation, and called on Iraqi leaders to address the root
   causes of the surge in violence.
