At least 57 people were killed and nearly 250 wounded in co-ordinated car bombings in Shia districts across Baghdad on Tuesday, an interior ministry official said. "Fifty-seven people were killed and 248 were wounded in 11 car bombings. All of the explosions happened at the same time," the official said. With details of the carnage still unfolding, the latest figures contrasted with an earlier report by the health minister that 36 people had died and 320 been hurt.
