Deadly Baghdad blasts send grim message
By BRIAN MURPHY, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 50 minutes ago

The attacks in mostly Shiite areas — twin explosions in an open-air market that claimed 62 lives and a third blast that killed one — were a sobering reminder of the challenges confronting any effort to rattle the well-armed and well-hidden insurgents.
