Two Market Blasts in Shia Towns in Iraq Kill 25

Violence in Iraq continues. Explosions in two market places, each in a predominantly Shia town, left 25 Iraqis dead Tuesday morning.  Seven died northeast of Baghdad near Baquba when a bomb strapped to a motorcycle blew up. Seven also died and more than fifty were injured in a market in Hilla, 65 miles southof Baghdad. Eleven others were killed in various incidents across the nation.  Yesterday, ten male Sunni students were abducted from a Baghdad building at gunpoint.
