Dubai  Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for two bomb attacks in Baghdad on Sunday that killed at least 29 people and wounding 111, said the U.S. monitoring organization SITE, Friday.Guerrilla group Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) said, its members managed to break through the barriers created army and police in two regions of the fortified and put two car bombs near two targets.

The second blast occurred near the intersection of Aden in northern Baghdad and in areas in the western Mansour neighborhood at around 10:10 pm (14:10 GMT), AFP reporters and officials said security.An interior ministry official put the death toll 29-19 at the intersection of Aden and 10 in Mansur."The blasts destroyed the headquarters ... besides killing two officers and candidates for dirty soldier," said the ISI in the statement, which SITE said was published in the forums Jihad on Thursday.

An AFP reporter said the explosion at the office of the National Security Department raises three meter diameter hole.Statement of ISI, said second target is the mobile phone company Asiacell, which he says are used to "hunt down militants, fighting them and spy on them".

As a result of the attack, a number of bloody corpses lying in the street, many cars on fire, destroyed two buildings and damaged several nearby homes, according to AFP correspondent reported.The violence comes just weeks after the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq on August 31.

Withdrawal of U.S. troops time to coincide with increased car bomb attacks and shootings directed at Iraqi forces take over security responsibilities from U.S. forces since 2009.Hundreds of people were killed in a wave of recent violence, including a large number of Iraqi police, but U.S. troops continue withdrawal from that country.

Although violence is not like in 2006-2007 when the sectarian conflict raging anti-US violence accompany, some 300 people died every month this year, and July is the deadliest year since May 2008.

U.S. military forces completed the withdrawal on a large scale in late August, the announcement of the end of the combat mission in Iraq, and after the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq to about 50,000.Withdrawal of the last U.S. combat brigade is hailed as a symbolic moment for the existence of the controversial U.S. in Iraq, more than seven years after the invasion to uproot Saddam.

However, U.S. forces continue to conduct joint operations with Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga guerrillas in the provinces of Diyala, Nineveh and Kirkuk with joint security arrangements outside the regular U.S. military mission in Iraq.U.S. and Iraqi officials have warned of dangers of increased attacks when negotiations on the formation of a new Iraqi government's faltering, a few months after parliamentary elections in that country.

The number of civilians killed in bombings and other violence in July rose to 396 from 204 the previous month, according to Iraqi government figures.As many as 284 people - 204 civilians, 50 policemen and 30 soldiers - were killed in June, said the ministries of health, defense and interior in Baghdad told AFP.

According to government figures, 337 people were killed in violence in May.Violence in Iraq reached its peak between 2005 and 2007, then declined sharply, and last attacks marked an increase.

Nearly 400 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded last year in coordinated bomb attacks on government buildings, including ministries of finance, foreign affairs and the judiciary in August, October and December.The general election on March 7, did not produce a clear winner and could deepen sectarian divisions in Iraq, which raises concerns about increased violence when politicians try to scramble the position in the new coalition government.

The series of attacks and bombings since the U.S. forces withdrawn from Iraqi cities by the end of June 2009 has raised questions about the ability of Iraqi security forces to protect the population from guerrilla attacks as Sunni militant group al-Qaeda.Militants linked to al-Qaeda now seems to challenge the soldiers and Iraqi police when the U.S. reduces the number of troops to 50,000 soldiers on 1 September 2010, from about 170,000 at its peak three years ago. (AFP)
