Iraqi officials say the death toll from Sunday's devastating truck bombing at a bustling Baghdad commercial street has climbed to 149. The death toll from a double-bomb attack in Baghdad has risen to 154 and another 35 people are missing, police and medical sources said on Monday. Iraqi security forces, supported by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, have retaken the cities of Tikrit, and Ramadi, the Anbar provincial capital. Police and health officials said Monday that the death toll is likely to increase as rescuers are still looking for missing people. Another five people were killed in a second attack when an improvised explosive device went off in Baghdad's northern Shaab area.
