Bomb attacks on Iraqi soldiers, Shi'ites kill at least 49
Ten car bombs rock Baghdad, killing at least 49, authorities say.
Cars rigged with explosives detonated in predominantly Shi'ite Muslim areas, and a suicide bomber attacked soldiers at a bank who were lining up for their pay.
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) UNIDENTIFIED LOCAL RESIDENT, SAYING:
"Why does all this happen to us? And where did they come from? It is not a human being who commits such an act. It cannot be a human being."
The explosions blew out windows in homes and business, and demolished parts of a market and bus station.
Soldiers are seen as targets for Sunni militants seeking to destabilize Iraq's Shi'ite-led government.
No immediate responsibility has been taken for the attacks.
