Iraq violence kills 13 as PM blames sectarianism

By Ammar Karim (AFP) – 7 hours ago

BAGHDAD — Attacks killed 13 people and wounded more than 35 on Thursday, officials said, as Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki blamed violence plaguing Iraq on "sectarian hatred."

In the deadliest attack, a car bomb in the Shiite Sadr City area of Baghdad killed six people and wounded 17.

Another in the city's Chikouk area killed one person and wounded four, and a third in Kamaliyah killed three and wounded nine, security and medical officials said.

Gunmen also shot dead the brother of a Sunni MP in the Bayaa area of Baghdad, officials said.

************ Americans don't clearly understand the origins of these quarrels. They are the result of a succession disagreement which dates back some time, and whose result it must be admitted is unclear.
