More Than 30 Killed in 24 Hours in Iraq Violence

More Than 30 Killed in 24 Hours in Iraq Violence | NDTV.com:
"While officials are quick to blame external factors like the civil war in neighbouring Syria for the heightened violence, analysts and diplomats say widespread anger among the Sunni Arab minority is also a key cause.
In Fallujah, just a short drive west of Baghdad, shelling in southern areas of the city killed 11 people and wounded four, Doctor Ahmed Shami said.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the bombardment, which began on Saturday evening and continued into Sunday.
In a sign of both the reach of anti-government militants and the weakness of security forces, all of Fallujah and shifting parts of Anbar provincial capital Ramadi, farther west, have been out of government control since early January.
