An increase of violence occurred on Sunday due to a wave of bombings, making it the deadliest day in Iraq in a month. The bombings happened in and around Baghdad, specifically in the city center,the neighborhood al-Mashahda and al-Amel, and the city of Taji. There were a total of seven explosions, which killed twenty people according to police and other city officials. A minimum of thirty seven people were injured in the attacks. The attacks were aimed towards the Shiite Muslim community. In a separate attack on the same day, four people were killed and nineteen were wounded because of a car bomb explosion. The car exploded near another Shiite holy site, about 12 miles southeast of Baghdad. The violence in Iraq is rising again after a period of peace.
