Updated at 3:21 p.m. ET (AP) BAGHDAD – Bombings and shootings ripped across Iraq on Monday, killing at least 106 people in the deadliest day in more than two years. The coordinated attacks in 15 cities sent a chilling warning that al Qaeda is slowly resurging in the security vacuum created by a weak government in Baghdad and the departure of the U.S. military seven months ago. Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq declared last week a new offensive aimed at sowing instability across the country. Iraqi militants have kept up a steady drumbeat of deadly attacks since the U.S. pulled out in December, ending nearly a decade of war. They have sought to increase the chaos created by the deepening sectarian political crisis that pits Sunni and Kurdish leaders against Shiite political powers. “Al Qaeda is trying to send a message that it is still strong and can choose the time and places to attack,” said Shiite lawmaker Hakim al-Zamili, a member of parliament’s security and defense committee. He said weaknesses in Iraq’s ability to gather intelligence about terror plots, or stop them despite security checkpoints has shown how toothless the government is in protecting its people.

Pictures: Emmy Awards 2010 red carpet Popular shows (and critical favorites) “Boardwalk Empire” and “Game of Thrones” seem like the types of shows that should do well at the Emmys. They both air on HBO, they’re both filled with big names (Steve Buscemi and Michael K. Williams on “Boardwalk,” for starters, and Sean Bean and Peter Dinklage on “Game of Thrones”) and they have popular source material (“Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City” by Nelson Johnson and George R.R. Martin’s popular Ice and Fire series of novels, respectively). There are stumbling blocks for each show. Sometimes Emmys skip entire series (“The Wire” was never nominated for Best Drama, for example). And 여수출장샵 Emmys don’t really love fantasy, under which “Game of Thrones” certainly falls. Nothing in awards show-land is certain, but it would be a surprise if Laura Linney didn’t get a nomination for Best Actress in a comedy for “The Big...
