伊拉克逾百人死於兩天爆炸襲擊 (More Than 100 Dead in Two Days of Bombing Attacks in Iraq)

伊拉克首都以南的一枚汽車炸彈襲擊炸死至少9人。此外，星期四在巴格達以北發生的系列爆炸中的死亡人數已經上升到近100人。警方說，在星期五的襲擊中，一枚炸彈在主要是什葉派人的希拉鎮一處熱鬧集市爆炸，還有40多人被炸傷。

醫院人員說，星期四在巴萊德城北發生的3起相互配合、幾乎同一時間發生的爆炸造成的死亡人數上升到98人。這一波暴力事件發生在伊拉克即將對新憲法進行全民公決之前兩個星期。反叛分子威脅要破壞10月15號的投票，並宣佈對在伊拉克人口中佔多數的什葉派全面開戰。

A car bomb attack south of the Iraqi capital has killed at least nine people, while the death toll from a series of blasts Thursday north of Baghdad has risen to nearly 100. In Friday's attack, police say a bomb tore through a crowded market in the mainly Shi'ite city of Hillah. More than 40 people were also injured in the explosion.

Meanwhile, hospital officials say the death toll from three nearly simultaneous car bomb attacks Thursday in the northern city of Balad had risen to 98. The spike in violence comes two weeks ahead of the national referendum on the new constitution. Insurgents have threatened to derail the October 15th vote and have declared all-out war on the country's majority Shi'ites.
