Car bombs kill at least ten in Baghdad - Yahoo! News: "A U.N. report detailed mounting sectarian violence after the February 22 bombing of the shrine in the city of Samarra, which touched off a wave of killings that sparked fears of civil war.

Hundreds of civilians are reported killed or wounded every week in violence that has forced more than 85,000 people to flee their homes, the report said.

'Women, children and professionals, including academics and judges, were increasingly targeted by the on-going violence,' the bi-monthly human rights report said.

It also said that out of 28,700 detainees in Iraq, more than 5,000 were held by the Interior Ministry, even though it should only detain people for short periods of time.

'Torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment are allegedly common practice in some facilities,' it said."
