Another sad and deadly day in Baghdad: 46 people were killed and at least 68 wounded when two car bombs went off near a crowded ice cream parlor in Baghdad’s Sadr City slum. A third car bomb was found and is being diffused, according to police, and after the attacks, angry citizens threw stones and bottles at Iraqi soldiers. Last week, 150 people died in bombings, spurring fears that Iraq could be returning to sectarian conflict.
