More bomb victims in Iraq

Mar. 29 - Car bomb attack in a marketplace south of Baghdad, kills at least four people and wounds 20.

Authorities said that the attack took place in a parking lot in the town of al-Mahmudiya, 30 km (20 miles) south of Baghdad, in one of the dangerous areas that are known as the triangle of death.

There has been a sharp upsurge in violence in recent days outside Baghdad, epicentre of the communal bloodshed, where thousands of U.S. and Iraqi security forces are focussing their efforts to halt a slide to full-scale civil war.
