Dozens killed in Iraqi bombings
Aftermath of the bomb attacks in Sadr City, Baghdad
More than 50 people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in Iraq in the worst day of violence since US forces withdrew from urban areas on 30 June.
The most lethal attack was in Talafar, near Mosul, where at least 34 people were killed and more than 60 injured in a double suicide bombing.
In Baghdad, two attacks at markets left at least 16 dead.
Several other people were killed in smaller attacks in the capital and in southern Kirkuk.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Baghdad says the attacks raise questions about whether Iraqi forces are capable of guaranteeing security without US support.
Those who want to derail the handover from US to Iraqi forces now appear to be testing the ground to see how much room they have for manoeuvre, he adds.

Well, at least they can’t blame these Iraqi deaths on Bush.
How much room? Under, Obama Plenty!
Yep, the surge won the war under W, the de surge under King Obama loses the war. Many brave heroes will have died in vain.
Didn’t everyone tell that that giving the terrorists a date would do nothing but tell them to go on vacation for a while?
Muslims are violent, sadistic killers living in the 12th century. Their only purpose in life is to kill Christians and Jews. You can never defeat them, only continue to kill as many of them as possible so to limit their ability to kill you.
They will never stop attempting to exterminate all non-muslims. Get used to it.
Haven’t we spent years and billions training a new army and police for to limit this stuff?
Who is Bush?
Why do something for yourself when you have Americans around to do the dirty work for you?

Where is Katie Couric?
ObamaFear causes death (see Honduras, China, Iran)
Future history will ask, "Which American President lost Iraq?
"Will the answer be "Obama"?
Obama owns it lock, stock and barrel. :)
Yes....it will.
There’s an upside to this. When the Iraqis capture the dogs responsible, it is highly unlikely that the villains will end up in front of a US federal judge, his lawyer complaining how he was never read his Miranda rights.
More likely, they will get a bullet in the back of the head and a backhoe funeral. If they’re prominent, they might even get to experience the awe and mystery of hemp rope.
It’s all -0’s baby now.
oops, tagline reads correctly now.
Iran sending a signal...
It was lie that Iraqui’s hated Americans.
They hate everybody. They blow people up for fun, not for political causes.
Our dear leader will have us read them their Miranda rights.
