Iraqis angrily blamed the authorities on Sunday for failing to prevent attacks that killed scores as they marked the Eid al-Fitr.
The violence wounded over 320 people, was roundly condemned by the international community. It was the latest in months of bloodshed that have sparked worries of a revival of the all-out sectarian war that peaked in 2006 and 2007 and left thousands dead. The attacks came weeks after assaults on prisons near Baghdad, claimed by an Al Qaeda front group, freed hundreds of prisoners. Though authorities have highlighted major security operations which they say have led to the killing or capture of numerous militants. Iraqis voiced frustration with the Government and security forces for failing to prevent the 16 car bombings.
