Al-Qaida in Iraq claims responsibility for attacks on Baghdad government
“Militants linked to al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility Tuesday for a pair of powerful truck bombs that killed 155 people and wounded 600 in the latest insurgent assault on the fragile Iraqi government.
The carnage Sunday was the second coordinated attack that al-Qaida in Iraq has claimed recently in an apparent campaign to bring down Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s administration ahead of January elections, which are in jeopardy of being postponed by political wrangling and security concerns.”
