U.S. military: Wave of attacks in Iraq 'eerily similar' to last year, Aug 15, 2011


Iraqi security forces inspect a site after an explosion in the northern city of Kirkuk after a series of bomb attacks across Iraq.

"Baghdad (CNN) -- More than a dozen bombing and shooting attacks struck Iraq Monday, killing at least 74 people and wounding 247, officials with Iraq's Interior Ministry said.
It was the worst wave of violence to strike the country in months, taking place on the halfway mark of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
'Today's attacks are eerily similar to the stream of large scale, complex attacks that occurred here last year during Ramadan on Aug. 25,' said Angela Funaro, spokeswoman for United States Forces-Iraq."
