Version 0 of 1.

At least 20 people were killed by bombs in Baghdad on Friday, at the end of a week of bloodshed that prompted a United Nations envoy to warn that Iraq was “at a crossroads.” More than 160 people have been killed in fighting and bombings that began on Tuesday when troops stormed a Sunni protest camp near Kirkuk. On Friday, eight people were killed in a series of explosions outside Sunni mosques in Baghdad. Later, a car bomb killed seven people in a busy shopping area in the south of the city. And in Sadr City, a Shiite stronghold, a motorcycle bomb exploded near a kiosk selling falafel, killing five people. In another development, the Iraqi Army entered the town of Suleiman Pek after militants who had seized control on Wednesday withdrew.
