The attacks Wednesday came after a wave of violence killed more than 240 people in seven days at the end of April, which raises concerns about the return of sectarian violence that killed tens of thousands of people.


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.


More than 450 people were killed in violence in April, according to an AFP count based on information from security officials and a medic, while the number of deaths in March reached 271.


Throughout February, 220 people were killed in violence in Iraq, according to an AFP based on 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.

Iraq officials issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on December 19, 2011 after they gain recognition that link with terrorist activities.


Dozens of guards of Hashemi, a Sunni Arab leader, was arrested a few weeks after the announcement, but it was 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)
