Blood bath in Baghdad

A string of coordinated car bomb, conventional bomb and mortar attacks targeting the heavily fortified Green Zone and other Iraqi government buildings earlier today has left a swathe of destruction in Baghdad. At least 50 people have been killed and over 300 wounded in the embattled city and this figure is expected to increase. There have been no claims of responsibility as yet; however, the likely suspects are Sunni extremists motivated or inspired by al-Qaeda.
