                           Car Bombs Kills 12 in Iraq

   by VOA News

   Multiple car bombs have exploded in Baghdad, killing at least 12 people
   in mainly Shi'ite districts of the Iraqi capital.
   The blasts Thursday hit the Sadr City and Kamaliya areas, leaving at
   least 18 other people wounded.
   The attacks follow a wave of bombings Wednesday that also struck mainly
   Shi'ite neighborhoods. Those blasts killed at least 33 people.
   Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki blamed the violence on what he
   called "sectarian hatred" and what results from a "sectarian mindset."
   Continuing violence in Iraq has raised fears of a return to the
   sectarian fighting that left tens of thousands dead in 2006 and 2007.
   Violence has fallen from that peak, but the United Nations said last
   month was the deadliest in Iraq since June 2008, with 712 people killed
   and 1,633 wounded in April.
