At least 95 dead, dozens wounded as string of bombings hit Iraq:
A series of bombings across Iraq has left at least 95 people dead. The blasts targeted Shia Muslims in Baghdad and Basra.
Ten car bombs detonated in Baghdad in Shiite neighborhoods, killing at least 48 people and injuring more than 150, authorities announced.
In neighboring Balad, 80 kilometers north of the capital, a car bomb killed 14 pilgrims on a bus, according to an anonymous local official.
Nine people were killed in one of two car bombs in Basra, a predominately Shia city, southeast of Baghdad.
"I was on duty when a powerful blast shook the ground," a local police officer told Reuters. "The blast hit a group of day laborers gathering near a sandwich kiosk," he said. One of the dead bodies was still clutching a blood-soaked sandwich in his hand."
Five other people were killed in a second blast inside a bus terminal in Saad Square, also in Basra, police and medics said.
Shiite worshipers were also targeted leaving a mosque in the city of Hillah, killing nine and wounding 26.
Monday’s violence also spread to Sunni areas of the country.
A car bomb in Samarra exploded near a gathering of Sunni militia waiting outside a military compound, killing three and wounding 13. According to officials, eight policemen have been killed near the town of Haditha, in the western province of Anbar, after gunmen ambushed two police patrols.
Another 13 bodies, including eight policemen were found in Anbar by the authorities in a desert area. The victims allegedly were kidnapped by gunmen on Friday and shot in the head.
The bombings are the latest in a series of attacks in both Sunni and Shiite regions, prompting fears that widespread sectarian violence is once more gripping the country.

Syria: dozens of Lebanese Hizbollah fighters killed in battle of Qusair:
Dozens of Lebanese Hizbollah fighters have been killed during an all-out offensive on the strategic border town of Qusair in Syria, a development that reveals the militia's unmitigated support for President Bashar al-Assad.
Hizbollah and Syrian government troops have seized nearby hamlets and launched a hammering attack on the city, threatening a supply line that has helped sustain rebel opposition groups in the provincial capital Homs for more than two years.
"We have at least 25 martyrs," Mustafa Taha, the head of the municipal council for the Hizbollah heartland town of Hermel told The Daily Telegraph. "Our leader, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah has said we will use every means that we have to support President Assad".
A press release from the rebel Free Syrian Army joint command claimed the leader of the Hizbollah operation on Qusair, Mustafa Bdr Aldeen, was among the dead.
The Iran-backed Shia militia's brazen intervention in the Syria poses the most serious threat yet to the stability of neighbouring Lebanon. It pits Hizbollah directly against cells from the al-Qaeda affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra opposition, risking provoking retaliation on Lebanese soil from local Sunni supporters of the Sunni majority Syrian opposition.
Hizbollah and the Syrian army launched artillery barrages on Qusair city in an attack that began late on Saturday night. Footage from the town shows planes on strafing runs and entire buildings evaporating beneath relentless air strikes.

Hmmm... Hezbollah and AQ, both should go down the drain fighting each other fiercely and effectively.
