Iraqi hospital and police officials today raised the toll from the capital's deadliest bombing in two years to 155 people.

More than 500 people were also injured in the deadly blasts which tore through the heart of downtown Baghdad yesterday, hundreds of yards from the heavily fortified Green Zone.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. The deadly blasts appeared to target two government buildings -- the ministry of Justice and the Baghdad provincial government -- and dozens of civil servants were among the dead.
