Baghdad blasts put Iraq on high alert

Al Jazeera reports today that Iraq is on high alert after three co-ordinated suicide car bomb attacks in Baghdad left at least 30 people dead and hundreds wounded.



Iraq's foreign ministry said that the attackers were aimed at causing political turmoil following the March 7 parliamentary elections.

While not yet the burning of the cities prophet Jeremiah described in his prophecy of doom on Babylon, the bombings point to the volatility of the situation. What will light the fuse? Will tomorrow bring the burning of Babylon?
