The guerrilla campaign of mass violence continued unrelentingly on Sunday. Guerrillas in the far northern, largely Turkmen city of Telafar, sent a car bomb into the midst of a funeral for a just-assassinated local Kurdish leader. The bomb killed 30 mourners and wounded more than 50.
AP adds, " At least six other car bombs one of them a suicide attack and five roadside explosions hit Baghdad on Sunday, killing six Iraqis, wounding more than 20 civilians, six Iraqi police officers and five U.S. soldiers." There were also a number of other attacks and assassinations, using machine guns rather than car bombs.
The four-day total for deaths is 116.
