Another Spate of Bombings around Baghdad; 125 Killed across Iraq

On Friday, Iraqi jets dropped leaflets over Mosul, advising residents to listen to a new radio station that will give them further instructions once it begins to broadcast. The operation appears to imply that Iraqi forces are readying to liberate Mosul. At least 125 were killed and 60 were wounded in violence across the country, including several bombings in and around Baghdad.
