More than 50 people have been killed with many others wounded in the recent series of bombing in Baghdad, Iraqi capital during the rush hour of Wednesday.
Recently,
there has been an increased violence between Sunni and Shia
Muslims in the country.
Several blasts in the northern
district of Kadhimiya killed at least five people and wounded many others,
according to reports. A northern suburb or Sadr City was also attacked.
Sunnis
say they are being marginalised by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's Shia-led
government.
Casualty
figures released by the United Nations showed 1,057 Iraqis - most of them
civilians - were killed in July, making it the deadliest month in the country
for years.
BBC
World Service Middle East Editor Sebastian Usher says authorities have stepped
up security operations in Baghdad. But they seem unable to stop the growing
intensity of violence now back to a level not seen for five years.
As
at the time of this report, no group has admitted carrying out the bombings,
but correspondents say appear to have been carried out by Sunni militants.
