A complex terrorist attack in Baquba, Diyala governorate, left dozens of people dead earlier today. Suspected Sunni extremists detonated two car bombs in central and western Baquba near police stations and a busy intersection leaving a swathe of destruction. A third bomber, dressed in military uniform, ambushed the wounded at a nearby hospital, nearly tripling the casualty count. The attacks come four days before key parliamentary elections and underlines the ability of extremists to continue to carry out attacks despite widespread security measures already in force. Mecasr will be watching developments closely.
