The casualty figures from this morning's double car-bombing in Baghdad continue to rise. Al Jazeera has at least 74 killed and 265 wounded, but rolling accounts indicate that the death toll is at least 100 with more than 600 injured.
The bombing occurred less than a minute apart near the ministry of justice and the headquarters of the Baghdad provincial administration. They carried a powerful political message, as political leaders were due to meet on Sunday to discuss a dispute threatening next January's scheduled elections.
