<b>More than 50 killed in string of Baghdad attacks</b>
<i>Hundreds have died since last week's Golden Mosque bombing</i>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A nighttime blast near a Shiite mosque killed at least 25 people and wounded 43, the worst of a wave of attacks Tuesday in Iraq's capital, officials said.
Leaders continued to exhort Iraqis to calm down and keep the peace, but deaths have mounted across the country despite a bolstered security force on the streets.
Violence has escalated since an explosion last week heavily damaged a revered Shiite shrine and further frayed relations between Shiite and Sunni Arabs.
In all, seven attacks Tuesday in Baghdad claimed the lives of at least 55 people and wounded 173.

Now they are creating Arab and non Arabs Shia and Sunni divide.
