Iraq - Bombs Kill 11 in 2 Cities - NYTimes.com Car bombs ripped through two Iraqi cities on Monday, killing at least 11 people, officials said, the latest in a string of attacks that have killed at least 150 people since the year began, most of them Shiites. The first blast struck a Shiite district outside Mosul, a predominantly Sunni city about 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, the police said. Eight people were killed and six wounded. A few hours later, an explosives-laden car detonated inside an industrial zone of the predominantly Shiite town of Hilla, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, killing three people and wounding 15, the police said.
