Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is blaming Sunni insurgents for Wednesday's wave of bomb and mortar attacks in Baghdad. At least 95 people were killed and hundreds more wounded. The strikes targeted two key government buildings, the Foreign and Finance Ministries. And the attacks continued on Thursday when a bomb exploded in central Baghdad, killing two people and wounding at least 10. VOA's Deborah Block looks at the violence and its importance.
