The car suspected of carrying the bomb was a twisted sculpture of fire-blackened steel. A second car, containing the bodies of two of the victims, appeared to have taken the brunt of the explosion as it tried...

Clinton’s win leaves the race wide open as the contest turns to Nevada and South Carolina in the next month. The competition in South Carolina—a state where half the Democratic primary electorate is black and that former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina won in 2004—promises to be a close race.
