Attacks Rip Through Baghdad Amid Security Crackdown...

The blasts -- seven within five hours -- brought the death toll around Iraq to at least 23 people. The bombings also wounded at least 72. A day earlier, a suspected shoe bomber blew himself up inside one of Baghdad's most prominent Shiite mosques, killing 13 people.
