Car Bombs in Iraq

An article in The New York Times website wrote by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS is about a series of car bombs that exploded last Saturday in Iraq's capital. The total people affected by the explosions are around 30 persons and the total of dead people is 19. Not all of the cars exploded at the same time and in the same place but the interval between one explosion and the other is just of few minutes. According to the police the places affected were all commercial areas in which the damage could be bigger.

These attacks are frequently seen in Iraq. There are not only car bombs but also there are suicide attacks. According to the UN the last year they were more than 8,868 people killed in Iraq. The toll of violent death is very high and the authorities should take action over this. There are possibilities that the car bombs were caused by a group in the city that frequently commit violent attacks. Police should work on localizing the individuals to give an end to the group.
