Baghdad blasts 'kill at least 62'
Sunday, 25 October 2009 ..

The aftermath of the explosions .. please see video inside .. every death is on Bush/Cheney .. every death .. still.

At least 62 people have been killed and many more wounded in two car bomb attacks in central Baghdad, police say.

The blasts hit the ministry of justice and another government building near the Green Zone, causing severe damage.

They came in quick succession at 1030 local time (0730 GMT) as people headed to work during the morning rush hour.

Correspondents say these are the largest attacks since 19 August,
when truck bombs hit two ministry buildings and killed at least 100 people.

Iraq then blamed foreign fighters and accused Syria of involvement, demanding a UN investigation.

Search for survivors ..

Plumes of smoke were seen rising in Baghdad on Sunday morning after two vehicles packed with
explosives blew up just outside the Green Zone, the heavily-fortified administrative heart of the capital.

"The walls collapsed and we had to run out," Yasmeen Afdhal, a 24-year-old employee at the Baghdad Governorate told AP news agency.

Iraqi officials say the number of dead and wounded is likely to rise, as rescue workers dig through the rubble to search for survivors.

"We're a few miles off but we could feel the force of those explosions," says the BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Baghdad.

Our correspondent says it is too early to determine who is behind the attacks, but that the finger of blame is likely to point to insurgents or foreign fighters trying to destabilise the security situation ahead of Iraqi elections in mid-January.
