Multiple Car Bombings Kill More Than 100 in Iraqi Capital

Iraqi police say a series of car bombings across the capital, Baghdad, has killed at least 112 people and wounded nearly 200 others.

Three of the blasts occurred within minutes of each other Tuesday.  One of bombs targeted a busy market in central Baghdad, while the others were detonated near the Interior Ministry in eastern Baghdad and the Labor Ministry.

Earlier, a suicide car bomber struck a police patrol in southern Baghdad killing at least three policemen and one civilian. Five others were also wounded.

Tuesday's attacks were the worst in the Iraqi capital since late October when twin car bomb attacks outside municipal offices killed at least 155 people.
