This weekend marked one of the deadliest in Iraq since the US invasion began more than 2 years ago. In 3 days of suicide attacks, more than 150 people have been killed with nearly 300 wounded. The deadliest bombing came on Saturday when at least 98 people were killed and 130 injured in the town of Musayyib, after a suicide bomber blew up a fuel tanker near a crowded marketplace and in front of a Shia mosque. It was one of at least 10 bombings on Saturday. Four more suicide bombs exploded in and around Baghdad yesterday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 19. A group identifying itself as Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in an internet statement that the bombings were part of a campaign to take control of the capital. So far this month there have been more than 40 suicide attacks, which have claimed 269 lives and wounded 558. 17 of these bombings came in the past 72 hours in the Baghdad area alone.
