Seven car bombs shook the Iraqi capital yesterday, leaving at least eight people dead and dozens more injured.


Two of the bombs exploded outside Mustansiriya University in the northeast of Baghdad, killing five people and injuring 15 others. Police said the bodies of 15 men, all shot through the head, were found on Sunday in two pick-up trucks in west Baghdad. Their identity papers indicated that most of them were Sunnis.
