Shiite And Sunni Areas

A car bombing in the Shiite-majority Sadr City area of north Baghdad killed eight people and wounded more than 20 today, Iraqi security and medical officials said.

IS has no compunction about killing both Sunni and Shiite Muslims, but it has specifically targeted members of minorities in areas it controls, in some cases giving Christians the choice of converting, paying a tax, fleeing or death.

A wave of attacks killed at least 79 people in Shiite and Sunni areas of Iraq on Monday, officials said, pushing the death toll over the past week to more than 200 and extending one of the most sustained bouts of sectarian violence the country has seen in years.

A string of car bombs and shootings tore through Shiite and Sunni areas of Iraq on Monday, killing at least 57 people and escalating fears of a return to widespread sectarian bloodletting, officials said

Car bombs struck two outdoor markets and a group of taxi vans in Shiite areas across Iraq on Friday, killing at least 36 people and wounding nearly 100 in the bloodiest day in more than two months, as minority Sunnis staged mass anti-government protests in a sign of mounting sectarian tensions.
