伊拉克逾百人死于两天爆炸袭击 (More Than 100 Dead in Two Days of Bombing Attacks in Iraq)

伊拉克首都以南的一枚汽车炸弹袭击炸死至少9人。此外，星期四在巴格达以北发生的系列爆炸中的死亡人数已经上升到近100人。警方说，在星期五的袭击中，一枚炸弹在主要是什叶派人的希拉镇一处热闹集市爆炸，还有40多人被炸伤。

医院人员说，星期四在巴莱德城北发生的3起相互配合、几乎同一时间发生的爆炸造成的死亡人数上升到98人。这一波暴力事件发生在伊拉克即将对新宪法进行全民公决之前两个星期。反叛分子威胁要破坏10月15号的投票，并宣布对在伊拉克人口中占多数的什叶派全面开战。

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.
