At least 25 people are killed despite tight security over Iranian president’s visit.

The bombings occurred despite security being tightened across Baghdad for Ahmadinejad’s visit, the first state visit by an Iranian president since the Iran-Iraq war.
US military commanders blame the al-Qaeda for most large-scale bombings in Iraq but there was no immediate indication of who was responsible for Monday’s bombings or whether they were directly linked to Ahmadinejad’s visit.
