Deadly blasts hit Iraq
Description
The aftermath of a bombing in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
The blast comes as part of a surge in coordinated attacks Monday on security targets and Shi'ite Muslims.
The first bomb targeted a police vehicle on patrol in the central neighborhood of Te'ssin.
(SOUNDBITE) (ARABIC) FARIS, EYEWITNESS, SAYING:
"Where are the national guards and how long should such destruction continue? Even in Ramadan. We would ask them [authorities] because they claim that everything is under control. Why? Just poor people were killed in the attack."
The bloodshed coincides with an intensifying of the conflict in nearby Syria.
Last month at least 237 people were killed and over 600 wounded in attacks in Iraq, making it one of the bloodiest months since US troops withdrew at the end of last year.
