In Baghdad Friday, at least six bombings occurred in response to the recent killings of three senior al-Qaeda leaders by security forces. A majority of the bombings occurred near Shia mosques during Friday prayer. Officials say that the bombings particularly targeted prayers in areas with a certain majority. Eyewitnesses claim to have already counted at least 25 bodies dead. Security officials have increased the security in Sadr City, but worry what the response will be as a result of these bombings. Seven people also died in a series of bombings in a western town in the Anbar province, where police officers and a judge were targeted.
