In Baghdad, 60 people died on Sunday in a pair of car bombings in a mainly Shiite shopping district. It was the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital since U.S. and Iraqi troops began a security crackdown last week. Minutes before the attack, a joint patrol of U.S. and Iraqi police had posed for pictures on the street corner where the first bomb exploded. The attack came a day after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise visit to Baghdad and said the new security effort in Baghdad appeared to be off to a good start. On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called the crackdown a “dazzling success.” Another 18 people died in a series of bombings in Baghdad today.
