Iraqi bombings increase



More than 30 died and 50 injured when a car bomb detonated at the funeral of a Kurdish official in the village of Tal Afar, northern Iraq, Sunday. 


At least six other car bombs exploded around  Baghdad Sunday as militants stepped up attacks and bombings which have killed more than 130 people in the past four days.

Egypt rounds up 200 in raids after attacks



Egyptian authorities swept through villages Sunday on the outskirts of Cairo, detaining more than 200 people after attacks Saturday that left seven people wounded and three attackers dead.
