63 KILLED BY BOMBS IN IRAQI CAPITAL

Baghdad, Iraq - A series of bombs targeting Shiite areas rocked Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 63 people in an apparent backlash after Iraq touted a series of blows against a weakened Al Qaida-led insurgency.
Eight people were also killed by bombs in the Sunni west of the country, less than a week after Iraqi security forces backed by US troops killed Al Qaida's top two leaders in Iraq.
  • Thirteen blasts hit different areas of the Iraqi capital around the time of Friday prayers, mostly near Shiite mosques and at a marketplace, an interior ministry source said.
  • Three bombs targeted worshippers outside the main office of fiery anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr in the crowded Sadr City. Those blasts killed 39 people and wounded 56, generating denunciations of the security forces. Some youths threw stones at an Iraqi army vehicle.
  • In another attack, 11 were killed by a car bomb and a suicide bomber near a Shiite mosque in Al Ameen district in southeastern Baghdad. A car bomb killed five near a mosque in Al Hurriya neighbourhood.
  • Several hours earlier, seven members of one family were killed in a series of blasts in Khalidiya.
