According to sources, there have been at least seven car bomb attacks around the capital Baghdad.

No organization has yet claimed responsibility for the horrific attacks. However, observers believe that the Al-Qaeda terrorist group in Iraq often carries out such bloody attacks.

The growing violence has raised concerns that Al-Qaeda and other armed groups could spread riots and further aggravate ethnic conflicts in the Gulf country./.
