Lingering effects of Baghdad blasts on Iraqis (AP)

In this photo taken Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, Iraqis works in front of the destroyed building of Baghdads Provincial Administration, in Iraq, The building is one of three government institutions that were destroyed by the twin suicide car bombs that exploded on Oct. 25, 2009.  Recent bombings that hit government buildings in downtown Baghdad killed more than 250 people and wounded hundreds more. The blasts also had a wider effect: slowing down the government services Iraqis use on a daily basis.  (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris)AP - Sadiya Khadem Rashid just needed a stamp. One stamp from Baghdads city hall so she could receive $850 in compensation given to displaced Iraqis who return home. But before she could get there, the building was blown up.
