Former Iraqi Regime/AQI Protest Chemical Ali Execution...

...the same old way they always did, by murdering more people.

Three massive blasts have killed at least 31 people and injured scores more in attacks on three Baghdad hotels popular with Westerners, Iraqi police have said.

The first bomb in the car park of the Sheraton Hotel toppled a concrete wall designed to protect the property and damaged a number of neighbouring buildings.

Minutes later two more car bombs struck near the Babylon Hotel and al Hamra Hotel, which is popular with Western journalists.

Iraqi authorities are searching for survivors in a number of houses that collapsed near the Hamra hotel.

Baghdad's top military spokesman, Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, said suicide bombers are responsible for all three attacks.

The bombings end a 1-1/2 month lull in coordinated assaults on the Iraqi capital as the country gears up for national elections in March.
