The United States slammed a wave of violence across Iraq which left more than one hundred dead Monday. \"We strongly condemn these attacks which took place today... in Iraq. The targeting of innocents is always cowardly,\" State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters. \"It\'s particularly reprehensible during this holy month of Ramadan,\" she said of the deadliest day of violence in Iraq in over two years. More than 100 people were killed, and at least 235 people were wounded in 28 different attacks launched in 19 cities, Iraqi officials said.
