Scores more were killed across Iraq on Sunday.

Mortar shells rained down on a girls' secondary school in a mostly Sunni area of western Baghdad, killing five pupils and wounding 20.

Later, in Sadr City, a car bomb exploded at an intersection near an outdoor market, killing at least four people and wounding 39 others. At least seven other people died in a series of bombings and shootings across the capital, mostly in Shiite areas.

Meanwhile, in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, two car bombs exploded within a half hour of each other, killing a total of 11 people and wounding 34.

It's unclear who fired the mortars, but the area has been the scene of reprisal attacks by Sunni and Shiite extremists.
