The head of Iraq's government says
that a series of suicide bombing
is designed to create chaos in that country
and prevent progress toward elections that is scheduled for next year.
Prime Ministry Nuri Al-Maliki called yesterday's terrorist attacks cowardly.
The five explosions killed more than 125 people
and injured more than 440 others.
The bombings all took place
within minutes of each other Tuesday morning.
They targeted several government buildings
around the capital city of Baghdad,
as well as a neighborhood in a business district.
