BAGHDAD Insurgents unleashed deadly attacks Tuesday against Shiite areas in Baghdad, killing at least 34 people and wounding dozens, highlighting increasing sectarian tensions in Iraq a decade after the war began.
The morning attacks, mostly by car bombs, targeted mainly small restaurants, daily laborers and bus stops in the Iraqi capital within a one-hour period.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the attacks bore hallmarks of al Qaeda in Iraq.
