30 killed, 80 wounded in Iraq twin car bombs: medic

KUT: Two near-simultaneous car bombs in the southern Iraqi city of Kut on Tuesday killed 30 people and wounded 80, a medical official said, giving a new toll.

The blasts struck the commercial centre of Kut, 160 kilometres (100 miles) south of Baghdad and capital of Wasit province, at around 6:00 pm (1500 GMT), a police sergeant said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Tuesday”s attack comes a day after President Barack Obama pledged that the United States will end its combat mission in Iraq as scheduled on August 31 despite a recent flare-up in violence.

Figures released by Iraqi officials on Saturday showed that more people died as a result of violence in July than in any previous month since May 2008. The US military has disputed those figures, however.

US and Iraqi officials have warned of the dangers of an upsurge in violence if negotiations on forming a new government drag on, less than a month before a major US troop pullout, giving insurgent groups an opportunity to further destabilise the country.

Nearly five months since the March 7 general election which gave no single bloc an overall parliamentary majority, the two lists which won the most seats are still bickering over who should be the next prime minister.
