Clashes in Iraq Leave 35 Dead

A second day of clashes between Iraqi soldiers and Sunni militants has left thirty-five dead.

Fifty-six were killed, on Tuesday, when violence broke out after troops tried clearing a protest camp.

Most of Wednesday's violence took place in Qara Tappah and Baghdad.

Seven soldiers and a police officer died fighting off the attacks made by the Al Qaeda linked militants.

Nine of the dead were civilians, most of whom were at a bus station when a car bomb went off.
