<p>A car bomb has ripped through a funeral tent in a mainly Shiite area of Baghdad, killing at least 41 people.</p>
<p>The explosion, which also left 75 wounded, was followed by scuffles between police and Iraqis angry about security failures.</p>
<p>The blast and three other small bombings are the latest in more than a week of attacks that have killed more than 200 people, raising fears about a rise in violence as the US military prepares to withdraw from the country.</p>
<p>The violence has mainly targeted the majority Shiite community and Iraqi security forces, posing a major challenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his fragile coalition government that took office last month.</p>
<p>The car that exploded had been parked with the vehicles of mourners, several yards away from the funeral tent, so it would not raise suspicion, police said. </p>
<p>Several other cars were set ablaze and nearby houses were damaged.</p>
<p>Young men furious over the lack of security began pelting Iraqi security forces at the scene with stones.</p>
<p>Anger was still high three hours later, and Iraqi troops fired in the air to disperse a crowd of residents gathering for a demonstration against the failure to prevent the bombings. Iraqi helicopters buzzed overhead.</p>
<p>Three other Iraqis were killed in sporadic bombings targeting Iraqi troops and an electricity official earlier.</p>
