Video
May 31 - At least 46 Iraqis killed, more than one hundred wounded in spate of attacks across Iraq.
A series of of bombings ripped through Iraq on Tuesday night (May 30), killing at least 46 people and wounding more than one hundred others.
In the deadliest incident, a bomb ripped through a crowded vegetable market in the capital and killed at least 25 people and wounded 65.
The bomb exploded in the northern district of Hussayniya.
"We were standing in the street at night when the blast took place. It is a popular area and the people here are used to gather outside. Some of the people were shopping and children were buying sandwiches and others were queuing for bread and most of them were children.
suddenly the blast occurred and we all run out and rushed to help people who were caught on fire. We put off the people who were on fire and almost of them were children. The situation was very tragic," said Karim Alwan, a resident of the neighbourhood.
In Baghdad, nine people queuing for bread died when a bomb planted in bakery exploded in the eastern New Baghdad district.
"We were queuing for bread and I was standing in the middle when the blast happened and all of us felt down," said Waleed from his hospital bed.
Hours earlier a suicide bomber in a car killed at least 12 people in the Iraqi town of Hilla, police sources said.
They said 36 people were wounded in the attack near a car dealership in Hilla, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad.
The mainly Shi'te town has suffered some of the biggest bombings in the Sunni guerrilla campaign to topple the Shi'ite-led government.
On Wednesday morning (May 31) a roadside bomb hit a police vehicle while driving in Baghdad's Yarmouk district, causing no casualties, police said.

It most be noted that before any foreigners invaded the Middle East, you would never see the kind of violence for example that is in this Video.
