Now who would have thunk it?Iraqis woke up Thursday to a barrage of explosions and drive-by shootings that killed and wounded dozens and dealt a blow to efforts by the government in recent weeks to patch up an ongoing political crisis and put on its best face to host a major Arab summit next month.
Most of the attacks were in the capital of Baghdad and targeted security forces and the neighborhoods usually congested during the early morning rush hour, according to security officials, who provided a preliminary toll of at least 33 killed and 127 wounded.
