Sunday, August 25, 2013, marked the day of many injuries, and deaths, across the country of Iraq. At least 46 people were killed through multiple bomb attacks and shootings. The attack was a part of the numerous attacks that have been occurring for the last month and seem to be "the country's worst bloodshed since 2008." Most people that were killed were normal people going about their day avoiding the risks of becoming potentially hurt or killed. The events of some of the attacks were taken place at no other than the local coffee shop in town, soccer field, market, wedding reception, and neighborhoods. The people of Iraq are questioning the safety and protection their country is able to provide and fear a civil war in the works of possibly occurring.
