The transcript reports on funerals in Baghdad following two explosions that killed 16 people and injured 35. Additional attacks across Iraq resulted in a total of 27 deaths. The violence is attributed to Al-Qaeda's efforts to destabilize the Shiite-led government. The death toll for the month has reached at least 360, according to The Associated Press. The violence intensified after a security offensive against a Sunni protest camp in April, but current death figures are lower than those during the peak violence between 2004 and 2008.
