It is estimated that 14 people have been killed and over 50 people have been inquired in southern Iraq after 2 cars bombs exploded. The attackers set off almost simultaneous twin car bombs in Kut, the capital of Wasit province, 100 miles south of Baghdad. According to witnesses the co-ordinated car bombs exploded in a crowded shopping area in the city. These bombings occurred just hours after a series of smaller attacks killed eight police officers in Baghdad. The deaths have renewed concerns about security in Iraq, especially as Obama confirmed earlier this month that US combat troops are due leave the country later this month.
