Deadly wave of bombings across Iraq

42 people were killed and 257 were wounded on Monday due to bombs across Iraq. The bombings took place in Baghdad, Anbar, Babel, Kirkuk, Salaheddin, Diyala, and Nasriya. Two of the bombs exploded near Baghdad's airport. Most of the attacks targeted the Shiites in Baghdad. Al Qaeda in Iraq have been responsible for attacks the last few months. Officials are worried that these ongoing violent attacks will effect the provincial elections that are coming up in the next five days.
