BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Gunmen roaming a Baghdad neighborhood on Sunday killed at least 42 unarmed Iraqis as soon as they identified them as Sunnis, emergency police said.
Ala'a Makki, a spokesman for the Iraqi Islamic Party -- Iraq's main Sunni political movement -- said the victims included women and children.
He called the killings in Hay al Jihad "one of the biggest massacres of Sunnis."
Later Sunday, two car bombs detonated simultaneously at a market in Baghdad's Karsa neighborhood, killing at least 19 and wounding 59, police said.
The market is close to the Tammimi Hussainiye, a Shiite prayer site.
Today is absolutely gorgeous here in Pittsburgh -- mid 70s, sunny, and breezy -- but then of course, I don't have to worry about someone putting a gun to my head and pulling the trigger as I lounge around in my backyard.
