Deadly bombings worst Iraq attack in two years

More than 130 were killed in a twin car bomb explosion in Iraq, with over 500 wounded. This is the most devestating terrorrist attack in Iraq in over 2 years. No one has yet taken responsibility for the attack, but there are strong suspicions that the bombings were hoping to deter the free elections coming up later this year. While doubt for the security levels in Iraq have come up since the attack, the Iraqi government have stated the strongest response to the attack will simply be to have the elections on schedule.
