Attacks Shake Iraq Again Amid Political Crisis
Baghdad, Dec 24 (Prensa Latina) Two persons were seriously injured in a bombing in the capital, a day after a string of 14 attacks that caused 65 deaths, said official sources amid a tense political crisis.
Iraqi Police reported that a presenter of channel Baghdad TV and her daughter were severely injured, on Friday night due to the detonation of an explosive device planted under her car that was parked in a north area of the capital.
The attack occurred just 24 hours after several areas of the city were shaken on Thursday by 14 serial bombings, killing at least 65 people and 176 were wounded, according to an updated report that also warned about the increasing sectarian violence.
In fact, Iraq's Sunni Vice President Tareq Al-Hashemi, accused the prime minister, Shiite Nouri Al-Maliki, of dragging this country into a sectarian war from the campaign against his faith community, taking into account the sudden resurgence of violence.
The tension between both Muslim faiths led the Sunni Al-Iraqiya bloc, to which the vice president belongs, to boycott the sessions of Parliament and threaten to withdraw the ministers in the cabinet, putting on hold the future fate of the fragile unity government established in 2010.
