'Initial reports of 62 people were killed and 138 wounded outside of a major Sunni university in Eastern Baghdad near Sadr City today. Witnesses report a suicide bomber detonating an explosive vest followed by a car bomb parked outside the main gate. The explosions occurred as students were heading home and catching buses and rides. A spokesman for the university said that most of the victims were women students.

The Iraq Students and Youth League says that there have been at least 10 violent incidents in Baghdad's two largest universities from January 1st to the 7th. They also report that attendance dropped to as low as 6% at Baghdad University. The highest attendance level was 59 percent at private universities."
