Frantic hunt in Iraq bomb rubble


Rescuers in Iraq are digging through rubble to find survivors of four bombs that killed at least 200 people.
The attacks devastated an area home to the Yazidi, a Kurdish religious sect, near the northern city of Mosul, and left more than 200 people injured.
Officials on the scene said the number of those killed and wounded was expected to rise.
The US military blamed al-Qaeda for the bombs, and acknowledged that tackling insurgent attacks was a difficult task.
