Seven car bomb attacks in Baghdad and the surroundings have killed at least 27 people and injured more than 100 in a spate of car bomb attacks targeting Iraqi security forces in and around Baghdad. The apparently co-ordinated blasts come just a day after Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari unveiled his new cabinet. No-one has admitted carrying out the attacks, the deadliest of which took place in Baghdad's Adhamiya area. A tape purportedly from al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, calls for more attacks on US forces.
