19 Killed, 104 Injured in Iraq

At least 19 people were killed and 104 wounded in attacks across Iraq, making this the deadliest month there in a year. At least a dozen bomb blasts and one shooting were recorded in nine different cities, including Bagdad, where a car bomb killed six people and wounded 26, and Kirkurk, where four car bombs exploded within 45 minutes, injuring an unspecified number of security forces. On Monday, a British security firm warned of more violence in Iraq as the nation prepares to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
