BBC News A wave of bomb attacks has hit Iraq as people celebrated the Eid al-Fitr festival marking the end of Ramadan, with more than 60 reported dead. The bombs targeted both Shia and Sunni areas of the capital, Baghdad, hitting cafes, markets and restaurants in at least nine different districts. A bomb also killed at least 10 people in Tuz Khurmato, north of the capital. This Ramadan in Iraq is thought to have been one of the deadliest in years, with more than 670people killed. Most of the violence in the past six months has involved Sunni Islamist militant groups targeting Shia Muslim districts. More than 4,000 people have died in such attacks this year. A further 9,865 have been injured, with Baghdad province the worst hit. Maliki vow The capital's deadliest car bomb attack on Saturday struck in the evening near an outdoor market in the south-eastern suburb of Jisr Diyala, police said, killing seven people and injuring 20. Correspondents say the areas struck in the capital were both Shia and Sunni districts. Among the areas struck were Amil, Abu Dashir, Khazimiyah, Baiyaa, Shaab, Husseiniyah and Dora.
