Shiites targeted by deadly Baghdad car bombings
By News Wires the 16/06/2012 - 14:05

At least 26 people were killed in Iraq on Saturday after two separate bombs 
targeting Shiite pilgrims exploded in the capital Baghdad. The violence comes 
just three days after the country was hit by a wave of similar attacks which 
left dozens dead.

REUTERS - Car bombers targeting Shi'ite pilgrims in Baghdad killed at least 26 
people on Saturday in the latest attacks by insurgents trying to tip Iraq back 
into widespread sectarian violence.

It was the third day of bombings to strike Shi'ite pilgrims this week. On 
Wednesday, a wave of bombings killed 70 people across Iraq in the bloodiest 
violence since U.S. troops left the country in December.

Saturday's car bombs exploded near Baghdad's Kadhimiya district, scattering 
body parts and clothing along a route used by pilgrims marking the anniversary 
of the death of Shi'ite imam Moussa al-Kadhim, a great-grandson of Prophet 
Mohammad.

"We rushed to the scene, there were dismembered bodies, shoes, plastic bags, 
women's robes left all around, and people were screaming everywhere," said 
Ahmed Maati, a policeman working nearby.

The recent attacks on Shi'ite targets are reviving fears Iraq risks slipping 
back into the broad sectarian slaughter of its recent past, especially as 
Shi'ite, Sunni and ethnic Kurdish parties that make up its fragile government 
feud over sharing power.

With security around Baghdad's Kadhimiya district very tight for the religious 
festival, one bomber on Saturday posed as a taxi driver and picked up pilgrims 
to access the area. At least 14 were killed in that initial blast and more than 
30 wounded, authorities said.

A second car bomb exploded nearby and killed at least 12 more and wounded 28, 
police and hospital sources said.

Al Qaeda affiliate

Al Qaeda's Iraq affiliate, Islamic State of Iraq or ISI, has claimed 
responsibility for Wednesday's attacks, according to U.S.-based SITE 
Intelligence Group, which follows jihadist websites.

Iraq's al Qaeda wing was weakened by its long war with U.S. and Iraqi security 
forces, but since the last American troops left in December, the group and 
other Sunni Islamist insurgents have carried out a major attack about once a 
month this year.

Al Qaeda in Iraq often hits Shi'ite targets in an attempt to stir up the kind 
of sectarian tensions that drove Iraq to the edge of civil war and killed tens 
of thousands of people in 2006-2007. They also target security forces to try to 
show the Shi'ite-led government is failing to stamp out violence.

Earlier this month, ISI claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on a major 
Shi'ite religious office in Baghdad, which killed 26 people, wounded 190 and 
evoked memories of the darker days of the country's conflict.

The violence also risks escalating tensions among the Shi'ite, Sunni Muslim and 
Kurdish blocks in the government as Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki fends 
off attempts at a vote of no confidence against him.

Many Sunni Iraqis, who once dominated the Shi'ite majority under dictator 
Saddam Hussein, fear Maliki is consolidating his power at their expense by 
ignoring pledges to share power among the country's sectarian and ethnic mix.

Kurdistan, an autonomous Kurdish area in northern Iraq reliant on the central 
government's budget, is also chaffing against Maliki's authority in a 
long-running feud for control over oil and areas disputed by ethnic Kurds and 
Iraqi Arabs.
