40 KILLED IN TERROR ATTACKS IN IRAQ
WebPosted Sun May  1 14:18:55 2005

Baghdad---About 30 Iraqis were killed and more than 50 were wounded when
a bomb exploded at a funeral Sunday, while at least 10 more people died
in other violent incidents.

At least 110 people, including 11 U.S. soldiers, have been killed in a
wave of attacks since the Iraqi National Assembly chose a Shia-dominated
cabinet on Thursday. The minority Sunnis are believed to be the main
supporters of the militant attacks.

 FROM APRIL 29, 2005: 11 car bombings kill dozens in Iraq Sunni factions
 had been promised six ministers and one deputy prime minister, but they
 received four portfolios considered relatively insignificant.

In the most deadly attack Sunday, a Kurdish official was being buried in
Tal Afar in northern Iraq when a suicide car bomb blew up.

Many other well-planned car bombings and ambushes were reported on Sunday
in Baghdad and other places in Iraq.

Iraqi police are a frequent target.
