Iraqi security forces work at the scene of a car bomb attack Sunday in the southern port city of Basra, one of the nearly two dozen bombings and shootings in 13 cities around the country.

Iraq’s fugitive Sunni vice president was sentenced Sunday to death by hanging on charges he masterminded death squads against rivals in a terror trial that has fueled sectarian tensions in the country. Underscoring the instability, insurgents unleashed an onslaught of bombings and shootings across Iraq, killing at least 92 people in one of the deadliest days this year.
