The relatives of the victims of Iraq's Sunday bombings are assessing the damage and mourning their loved ones. And as the hunt is on for those responsible, many wonder what it will take to ensure security.

The same scene has been repeated in Iraq many times in recent years.

An immeasurable loss for each family.

Victim's Relative, said, "Three people were killed, a man, his wife, and his brother. Poor people are the victims. "

It is the deadliest attack in over two years.

The blasts occurred near the Ministry of Justice, delivering a powerful blow to the heart of the country's fragile government.

So far no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but Iraqi officials say, they see striking similarities to the August 19th attack, that hit two government ministries.

Mohammd Naji, Iraqi National Coalition, said, "It is very obvious that there is a big similarity between these terrorist attacks and the one that took place in August. The previous ones targeted the ministries of Finance and Foreign Affairs. And today they targeted the Ministry of Justice."
