http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/20/iraq.main/index.htmlIntelligence sources estimate 150 car bombings and 250 suicide attacks are planned ahead of Iraq elections at the end of the month.
A top Iraqi police official told CNN Thursday the information came to light during interrogations of recently-detained insurgents who said targets of the attacks would include election centers and other locations, without being specific.
Responding to the report, a U.S. military spokesman said: "This is the trend we have been expecting as we get closer to the election."
The warnings came one day after four suicide car bomb attacks in and around Baghdad killed at least 25 Iraqis and the bombers.
