A wave of car bombs killed at least eight people and wounded nearly 80 in Baghdad yesterday, underlining fears that continued violence could drag the country into a full-scale civil war.
Two car bombs near Baghdad's Mustansiriya University killed at least five people and wounded 25. A car bomb near the Health Ministry killed three people and wounded 25.
In another development, 32 bodies of Iraqi police and security forces were discovered in two areas of Baghdad.
