A spate of apparently coordinated bombing and shooting attacks in cities across Iraq killed at least 32 and wounded dozens Sunday, raising fears of a return to widespread sectarian violence a decade after the U.S.-led invasion, The Associated Press reported. Twenty-six people died when car bombs hit Shiite-majority areas in half a dozen cities in the south and the center of the country. No one claimed responsibility for any of the attacks, but they bore the hallmark of al-Qaida in Iraq. The shooting happened 225 miles northwest of Baghdad in Mosul, which has been the scene of some of the deadliest unrest outside of the Baghdad area in recent weeks. Police officials said gunmen opened fire on police guarding a remote stretch of an oil pipeline, killing four and wounding five.
