BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Bombers have struck at least four times in Baghdad's morning rush hour, killing at least 33 people near the Red Cross headquarters and police stations in the capital's bloodiest day since Saddam Hussein's overthrow.
The blasts shook the city after three U.S. soldiers were killed in separate attacks overnight. At least two of the morning explosions appeared to have been suicide bombings, with an ambulance used in the Red Cross bombing.
The explosions, sirens and smoke plunged Baghdad into fear and chaos at the outset of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The onslaught "is not only criminal, it's sacrilegious", U.S. Brigadier General Mark Hertling told reporters.
On Sunday rockets hit a fortified Baghdad hotel where U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz was staying, killing a U.S. soldier and wounding 17 people. Wolfowitz was unhurt.
The suicide attack on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) headquarters in central Baghdad killed 10 people and wounded at least 15, an ICRC official said on Monday.
An ICRC guard said the bomb vehicle looked like an ambulance. The blast blew down an outer wall and shattered windows in the ICRC building.
