FOUR suicide bombs killed at least 71 people in Iraq yesterday, the latest attacks in an escalating campaign of guerrilla violence that has killed nearly 400 Iraqis since a new government was unveiled two weeks ago.

The bombs, which exploded within hours of each other in Tikrit, Hawija and Baghdad, shattered any notion that a degree of stability was returning to Iraq in the wake of elections earlier this year.

Just last week, following the death of a British Guardsman, Anthony Wakefield, Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, spoke of the role UK forces were playing in making Iraq a "stable and democratic country".

But stability was nowhere to be seen yesterday morning as suicide bombers cut a swathe of death across the country.
