[Ynet] Authorities in Iraq say a series of bombings targeting public places in the capital, Baghdad, have killed 12 people.

Police officials say a bomb went kaboom! on a commercial street in downtown Baghdad, killing four people and wounding nine others.

Earlier, two kabooms near an outdoor market killed five people and maimed 10 others in the western suburbs of the capital. Another bomb went kaboom! on a commercial street in Baghdad's district of Amil, killing three people and wounding 11 others.

Medics in nearby hospitals confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
