Dozens killed as wave of violence rolls across Iraq

Most of the deaths took place in the southern city of Kut (koot), where twin explosions went off in a market. An official in the province says at least 35 people were killed, and another official says more than 60 were injured.

In restive Diyala province, a local health official says more than seven bombs went off in the capital of Baquba (bah-KOO'-bah) and towns nearby, killing five people.

Violence also struck the holy city of Najaf, where a suicide car bomber drove into a police checkpoint, killing two policemen and two civilians. And just outside Karbala (KAHR'-bah-lah), three policemen were killed when a car bomb went off.

There were attacks in other cities today, ending what had been a relatively peaceful holy month of Ramadan.
