Scores of people are dead and hundreds wounded following a weekend of violence in Iraq. A series of bombings aimed mainly at Shiites killed more than 70 people across Iraq on Saturday. The blasts targeted markets, busy streets, parks and residential areas as families were celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. Some officials put the day’s death toll as high as 91. According to a private U.S. monitoring group, an al-Qaeda affiliate has claimed responsibility for the bombings. On Sunday, at least seven people died in more attacks. Last month was the deadliest to hit Iraq in more than five years.
