At least 60 people have died in a series of deadly bomb attacks in Iraq. Four cities were targeted in what the US military say have all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda. In Baquba a car bomb killed 40 and injured 75. This was soon followed by an explosion at a restaurant in Ramadi. That attack killed 15 dead and saw 13 injured. In Baghdad 5 were killed and 12 injured by another blast and several Iraqi police were injured in Mosul when they were hit by a double car bomb attack. All the bombs occurred within minutes of each other at around noon local time. Meanwhile there is no resolve in continual battles with Shi’ite groups loyal to cleric Moqtada al Sadr.
