Iraqi Shoppers Targeted on Revolution Anniversary: 77 Killed, 223 Wounded

A number of late-day, coordinated attacks targeted markets and bakeries to take advantage of food shopping right before the Iftar evening meal, which breaks Ramadan fasting for the day. July 14 also marks the 55th anniversary of the coup which installed the regime that ended with the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. At least 77 Iraqis were killed and 223 more were wounded.
