Thirty Killed in Baghdad Bombings

At least thirty people were killed in two separate explosions in Baghdad, early Saturday.

Twenty-three people were killed when a car bomb went off at a popular restaurant, in Sadr City.

Six Iranian pilgrims were killed when a bomb attached to their bus exploded.

In a third explosion, three children when a car bomb exploded near a playground.

The violence is marring the Islamic holiday of Eid al Adha, and has targeted Shi'ites.

It is likely that Al Qaeda, which is a Sunni terrorist group, is behind the attacks.
