Baghdad (CNN) -- A barrage of car bombings and shootings across Iraq left at
least 32 people dead, authorities said Monday.
It's the latest spate of violence plaguing the country amid heightened
sectarian strife.
Basra: Car bombings kill nine, mostly civilians
At least nine people were killed and 37 others wounded when two car bombs
exploded Monday in a
pair of neighborhoods, Basra police said.
Why are Iraq's Sunnis so upset?
Why are tensions rising again in Iraq?
Syrian civil war stokes violence in Iraq
Most of the casualties were civilians, police said.
The southeastern province of Basra is predominately Shiite, but it was unclear
who is responsible for the blasts.
Haditha: Eight officers killed
In another attack, gunmen ambushed two police checkpoints in in Haditha on
Monday, killing eight
officers, Ramadi police said. Haditha is about 250 kilometers (155
miles) west of Baghdad.
Baghdad: Seven car bombs leave seven dead
Five car bombs rocked
five predominately Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad on Monday, police
said. The attacks killed four people and left 42 injured.
Another car bomb
exploded near an outdoor market in southeastern Baghdad, killing two.
And a seventh car bomb rocked a busy road in southwestern Baghdad,
killing one, police said.
Ramadi area: Eight kidnapped civilians found shot to death
The bodies of eight civilians who were kidnapped by gunmen on Saturday were
found dead late Sunday night, officials said.
The civilians were
abducted on a highway west of Ramadi and were discovered along a
different part of roadway, authorities said. All eight had been shot to
death.
Earlier, the bodies of six police officers who had also been abducted Saturday
were found on a highway in western Ramadi.
Most of the 14 people kidnapped and killed were Shiites.
Sectarian strife mounting across the country
Authorities have not been able to pinpoint who's behind the latest wave of
violence.
But tensions between
Iraq's Sunnis and Shiites have escalated in recent months, especially
after an incident last month in Hawija where Iraqi security forces
raided a site used by Sunni protesters to demonstrate against the
Shiite-led government.
The violence often alternates between attacks against Sunnis and attacks
against the Shiites.
Sunnis, who represent a
minority of Iraqis, have been politically marginalized since the
overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Shiites, who make up a majority of
Iraqis, now dominate the government.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki addressed the sectarian violence
afflicting the country on Sunday.
"Those who are targeting mosques and other locations are the enemies of Sunnis
and Shiite(s)"
the prime minister said in a statement. "They are plotting to ignite
sectarian strife as they have tried before.
Al-Maliki called on clerics to reject sectarianism and promote unity.
