Iraq: Deadly car bombs hit Shia provinces 29 April 2013 Last updated at 08:51 At least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured by car bombs in Shia-majority provinces of southern Iraq, officials say. Two bombs struck a market in the town of Amara in Maysan province, with another hitting the town of Diwaniyah. An army raid on an anti-government protest camp on Tuesday has sparked a wave of violence. On Saturday Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki warned of the dangers of sectarian conflict in the country. Mr Maliki said sectarian conflict had returned to Iraq "because it began in another place in this region" - an apparent reference to Syria. The past seven days have seen clashes in several towns and cities, sparked by an army raid on an anti-government protest camp near the northern town of Hawija on Tuesday that left 50 people dead. It is the most widespread violence since the withdrawal of US troops in 2011.
