Iraq violence: Bomb blasts leave at least 11 dead

Several bomb blasts in Iraq have killed at least 11 people and wounded dozens more in the latest eruption of violence, officials say. The blasts, including at least one car bomb, targeted the capital, Baghdad, and the northern city of Mosul. There has been a recent upsurge in violence across Iraq amid rising sectarian and political tension. The UN has said more than 700 people were killed in April - the highest monthly toll in almost five years. At least one car bomb killed four people in north- eastern Baghdad on Thursday, police said.

When Brazilian judges announced their decision to grant bail to the defendants in a nightclub fire that killed 242 people, a woman in the courtroom let out a yell. Her son died when a botched pyrotechnic display set concertgoers ablaze at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria in January. For loved ones attending the hearing, it appeared those responsible for the deaths were getting off scot-free. Anger and disappointment at the decision spread Wednesday.

This sad incident occurred on Monday night May 27th along Airport road in Mafoluku, Lagos. A trailer carrying heavy duty rods lost control and fell on a car with three people inside. The three occupants of the car, two men and a woman, were staff of Zenith Pension, Victoria Island. The two men, Ovie and Sir Kay, lost their lives, while the lady survived with a deep cut on her head. Rescuers managed to bring the lady out of the car that night after they heard her shouting she was still alive, but the two dead men were left in the car wreckage until the following morning when their colleagues showed up at the accident scene. Sad! May their souls rest in peace, amen.
