A flurry of bombings in Baghdad killed 26 people Sunday, while officials said the death toll from a giant suicide truck blast that devastated the market of a Shiite town a day earlier was at least 130. The explosives-laden truck demolished dozens of houses and shops Saturday in Amerli, a village of poor Shiite Turkmen about 110 kilometers, or 70 miles, north of Baquba, the largest city in Diyala Province. The police said that, in addition to the dead, at least 240 people had been wounded in the blast - one of the deadliest single attacks since the start of the war.
