Four successive blasts hit the Iraqi city of Kerbala yesterday, killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens more outside a local government building. The first bomb ripped through a crowd of guards and civilians gathered in front of an office issuing ID cards and passports, and three other explosions went off shortly after as emergency services arrived to help the wounded.
