Credit: Reuters/Jamal Saidi By Waleed Ibrahim and Khalid al-Ansary BAGHDAD | Wed Nov 3, 2010 12:25am EDT BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A series of bombs rocked mainly Shi'ite areas of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens two days after al Qaeda militants staged a bloodbath when they took hostages in a Christian church. The bombings occurred hours after a memorial service for some of the 52 hostages and police killed in Sunday's church raid, and as the Iraqi government vowed to step up security for Iraq's Christian minority. The third major assault in Iraq since Friday appeared to demonstrate that a weakened but stubborn insurgency has a greater capacity to carry out large-scale strikes than U.S. and Iraqi officials have acknowledged. Iraq remains in political limbo almost eight months after an inconclusive election, raising fears Sunni Islamist groups like al Qaeda might exploit tensions to reignite sectarian war. In Washington, the Obama administration said the attacks would not "stop Iraq's progress." "We have confidence that the people of Iraq will remain steadfast in their rejection of efforts by extremists to spark sectarian tension," White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer said. Iraqi officials gave differing casualty tolls from the attacks. "The initial death toll we have so far is 40 killed, 80 wounded. I repeat, it is an initial death toll," Baghdad security spokesman Major General Qassim al-Moussawi said, adding that there had been 14 explosions in all. "(They were) all in Shi'ite neighborhoods." Health Minister Saleh al-Hasnawi said 36 people died, but that could rise, and 320 were wounded, most of whom had been released from hospitals. An Interior Ministry source, who asked not to be named, put the toll at 57 dead and 248 wounded. The source said there were 14 car bombs, two roadside bombs and eight mortar rounds although U.S. forces said their radar had not detected any mortar fire. One of the biggest explosions appeared to target restaurants and cafes in the Shi'ite slum of Sadr City. "We do not have any conclusive information at this time as to the responsible parties but this seems to be typical AQI (al Qaeda in Iraq) tactics," Lieutenant Colonel Eric Bloom, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, said in an email. FOURTEEN COFFINS The attacks came two months after the U.S. military formally ended combat operations in Iraq. Iraqi security forces now have primary responsibility for protecting the public. 1 2 Next World Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
