Weekend Car Bombings Kill at Least 20 in Iraq

NPR's Alex Chadwick talks to Patrick McDonnell, co-bureau chief for The Los Angeles Times in Baghdad, about the latest violence in Iraq. Over the weekend, car bombings killed at least 20 people. U.S. and allied military officials attribute the increased violence to the approach of the June 30 handover of power.
