A group in Iraq, linked to al-Qaida, has claimed responsibility for Sunday's car bombings in Baghdad that have killed at least 155 people and wounded more than 500 others. The near-simultaneous attacks happened near the heavily-fortified Green Zone and seemed to target a provincial government building and Iraq's Justice Ministry. Iraq's Interior Ministry says 70 people are under arrest, but gave no further comment. VOA's Robert Raffaele has more.
