BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi hospital and security officials say at least 136 people have been killed in what is Iraq's worst bombing of the year.

The powerful blasts went off less than a minute apart Sunday in parking lots near the headquarters of the Baghdad provincial administration and the Ministry of Justice building.

Officials said there were so many wounded that even civilian cars were used to bring the wounded to hospitals across the capital.

The hospital and security officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
