No one suffers more than Pickles and her man.

Violence continued on Sunday. A barrage of mortars at dawn killed at least 11 people as residents lined up for fuel at a Baghdad petrol station. Police said they had found 18 corpses dumped throughout Baghdad in the past 24 hours.

Police in Baquba, north of Baghdad, said they had found 60 decomposed corpses dumped in thick grass on Sunday. Little else was known about the bodies.

Baquba is the capital of volatile Diyala province and an al Qaeda stronghold. Diyala has seen a spike in violence since a security crackdown in Baghdad forced insurgents and Sunni Islamist al Qaeda fighters into surrounding areas.
