Two massive bombs went off in the central part of Baghdad, killing more than 75 people and leaving more than 300 wounded. A  truck with a bomb hidden in it went off outside of the Iraqi foreign ministry, just outside of  the protected Green Zone. It left a crater 3 metres deep and 10 metres wide. Another bomb went off near the finance ministry. Several smaller explosions, believed to be mortars, were also reported. It was the deadliest day since the US military forces handed back security to the Iraqi forces. Bomb attacks are still common in Baghdad but have tended to target poor Shia neighbourhoods. BBC, CNN
