Two coordinated blasts struck the Karradah district of Baghdad as shoppers filled the area, killing 68 and wounding about 120. The U S military blamed al Qaida in Iraq and vowed to target the cell leader. Authorities consider extra checkpoints and possible temporary barriers to protect the revitalized yet vulnerable commercial area.
