| More than 70 people were killed in a series of car bombings and suicide attacks targeting Shia Muslims across Iraq today. |
| The attacks increased the number killed in sectarian clashes in the past week to more than 200. |
| Tensions between Shias, who now lead Iraq, and minority Sunni Muslims have reached a point where some fear a return to all-out civil conflict. |
| No group claimed responsibility for the bombings. |
