Blasts rock Shia districts across Baghdad

Car bombs and roadside blasts have killed at least 22 people in Shia districts across the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police and hospital sources have said.

Security forces stepped up searches at checkpoints after the attack on Tuesday, closing off key roads and worsening the capital's morning gridlock, a reporter for the AFP news agency said.

Ten car bombs, including two detonated by suicide bombers, one roadside bomb and two gun attacks struck in and around the Iraqi capital during morning rush hour on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion.

Sunni fighters tied to al-Qaeda have stepped up their campaign of attacks this year in an attempt to trigger sectarian tensions and undermine Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shia-led government.

There was no immediate claim of responsibilty for the blasts.

Baghdad Shia areas hit by deadly car bombs

At least 48 people have been killed following a series of car bombs mainly targeting Shia areas of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, officials say. More than 150 people were injured, police sources told the BBC.

The attacks came on the 10th anniversary of the US-led campaign in Iraq that toppled Saddam Hussein. Violence in Iraq has declined from a 2006-7 peak, but a Sunni insurgency goes on, with on average more than 300 people dead a month. Iraq's cabinet said that because of the security situation, it was delaying elections scheduled for 20 April in two provinces by up to six months.

On Monday, a total of at least 10 car bombs were set off, in what was clearly a co-ordinated campaign, the BBC's Jim Muir reports from Baghdad.

This Muslim killing Muslims will be worse this year.. 2013 is filled with election .. It is an election year in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan. Afghanistan, Bangladesh and possibly in Syria.. And elections and Islam will never go together.. It is going to be blood bath across the Islamic lands.. If these ROGUES had accesses to small nukes they would not hesitate to drop it in the blink of an eye for the sake of jihad... THEIR ISLAMIC JIHAD..

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

Good one. I can really see that helping the country.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.
