"Baghdad (Reuters)-coordinated blasts killed at least 25 people in central Baghdad, Wednesday, near the green zone with rigorous care which is the location of a number of Western embassies, said police and medical officials.
Yet there are those who claim responsibility for the bombing, but the Sunni guerrillas redouble their effort to undermine Iraq's Shiite government and enlarge the conflict between communities this year, Reuters reports.
Police said two car bombs exploded in the District of Alawi, one of them near the building of the Ministry of Justice, before the suicide attacker detonated his car bomb near the offices of the Interior Ministry.

"We heard shooting and a few minutes later, three attackers wearing military uniforms came to the second floor and started to shoot blindly," police said. "I hit a shot in the foot and I am proud to kill one of them (attackers)."
Among those killed were at least seven police officers and 15 civilians, police and medical officials said. Three militants also were killed. At least 50 people injured.
Violence is the last of a wave of bombings and suicide attacks in the middle of a political crisis between Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and his Government partners and protest marches over the past few weeks demanding his resignation.
Throughout February, 220 people were killed in violence in Iraq, according to the data, based on AFP information from security sources and medical.
Iraq is engulfed in political chaos and violence that killed thousands of people since u.s. forces completed a withdrawal from the country on 18 December 2011, leaving security responsibilities to Iraq troops.
In addition to having problems with the Kurds, Iraq's Government is also at odds with Sunni groups.
Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (Shiite) since December 2011 sought the arrest of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of terrorism and attempting to dismiss Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-absolute. Both are Sunni leaders.
Iraq officials issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on December 19, 2011 after they gain recognition that connect him with terrorist activity.
Dozens of guards of Hashemi, a Sunni Arab leader, was arrested in a few weeks after the announcement, but it is not clear how many people were now on hold.
Hashemi, who denied the allegations, was hiding in the Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, and Kurdish leaders refused to pass them to Baghdad.
The Kurdish government even allowed the regional visit to Hashemi did Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. (M014)
