At least 30 people were killed while 42 others injured in three explosions that shook Baghdad in quick succession.One of the blasts struck near the Iranian Embassy while the other two occurred in western Baghdad. The force of the blasts shook buildings and rattled windows in the center of the capital. The bloodshed comes amid increasing concerns that insurgents will take advantage of Iraq's political turmoil to further destabilize the country, nearly a month after parliamentary elections failed to give any candidate a decisive win.Many fear a drawn-out political debate could spill over into violence and complicate American efforts to speed up troop withdrawals in the coming months.
