In Iraq, the death toll from Tuesday’s multiple bombings in Baghdad has reached at least 127. More than 500 people were also wounded in what was one of the worst attacks to hit Iraq this year. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the bombings.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “I am very shocked, and I condemn in the strongest terms possible this just unacceptable, horrendous terrorist bombing against civilians. This must be stopped.”
