State sleeper cells activated in Baghdad?
Two of the bombs hit Kadhimiya and one hit the adjacent district of Tobcha, the security sources said. A mortar landed near the site of a major Shi'ite shrine in Kadhimiya and gunfire was heard in the district, they said.
Bombs hit the capital on a near-daily basis but coordinated attacks of this scale have been rare in the last several weeks. Mortar rounds have a short range compared to rockets, indicating the assailants fired from near the districts.
