Iraq Bombings Kill 10

   VOA News

   Iraqi security officials and medics say three bombings in the country's
   south have killed at least 10 people and wounded more than 55.
   Officials say the first bombings occurred in a market in the southern
   oil city of Basra. A third blast went off in the same area as people
   gathered to help those hurt in the previous explosions.
   Deadly attacks are frequent in Iraq. There were more than 250 people
   reported killed last month.
   However, violence across the country has decreased significantly since
   peaking in 2006 and 2007.

   Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.
