The New York Times is reporting now that two day care centers were hit in the blast. At least 30 children are dead:
Iraqi officials reached a tentative agreement on a new election law on Monday, even as workers continued to recover more bodies from the wreckage of Sunday’s bomb attacks, including an uncertain number of children from two day care centers.
The toll climbed to as many as 155 dead, with more than 500 wounded and an unknown number still missing.
An earlier version of the Times article at Blogrunner (the Times‘s aggregator) put the number of children killed at 30. The article now says “an uncertain number.”
