Iraq’s Shi’ite South Targeted: 54 Killed, 174 Wounded -- Antiwar.com
A surge in attacks that began last month resumed after several days of relatively light violence. Shi’ites were targeted in today’s hostilities.

Overall, at least 54 Iraqis were killed and 174 more were wounded.

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
