Violence in Iraq, including shelling in a militant-held city and an attack targeting Shia pilgrims, has killed more than 30 people in 24 hours, officials said Sunday.
The bloodshed comes as officials count ballots from the April 30 general election, the first since U.S. troops withdrew in late 2011, and amid a protracted surge in nationwide unrest that has sparked fears of a return to the sectarian killing sprees of 2006-2007.
In Fallujah, just a short drive west of Baghdad, shelling in southern areas of the city killed 11 people and wounded four, Doctor Ahmed Shami said.
