BAGHDAD (AP) — Police and hospital officials say the death toll from a
blistering string of all-day attacks across Iraq on Thursday has risen to more than 90.
Included among the
casualties disclosed Friday were 21 people killed when a car bomb detonated
shortly before midnight near an ice cream shop in Baghdad's southeastern
Zafaraniyah neighborhood.
Officials spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the
information to reporters.
Funerals got under
way Friday for those killed in the attacks. In the Baghdad Shiite neighborhood
of Sadr City, dozens of people carried the coffins of relatives through the
streets. Some mourners wept, while others sought solace by chanting "God
is great." A bomb there Thursday evening left 14 dead.
