Bombings In Baghdad

36 people were killed in coordinated bombings across Shiite villages in Baghdad. Another 110 people were wounded in the attacks.

In total, there were six bombs, four of them car bombs.

The United States military says that the attacks are similar in nature to previous bombings.

In Sadr City, survivors of the attack were angry, and started to throw rocks at the Iraqi troops after they fired shots into the air in an effort to disperse crowds of people trying to help those who were injured.

The violence in Iraq was at its highest in 2007, and has since dropped 90 percent. The U.S. military is worried, though, that the recent spike in attacks means extremist groups may be reforming.
