BAGHDAD — The bombing of a Baghdad bus station Thursday that killed at least seven people pushed the death toll from a week-long series of blasts near Shiite targets to about 200.
The wave of attacks is undermining Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s declaration of a “great victory” in the U.S. pullout from urban areas by Tuesday’s deadline. He has declared June 30 a holiday to be marked with celebrations.
Also Thursday, nine American soldiers were wounded in two roadside bombings against a convoy in eastern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.
