At Least 29 Killed By Bomb Attacks in Baghdad
Predominantly Shiite areas targeted
At least 29 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a series of bomb attacks in mostly Shia areas of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, officials say.
The deadliest attack was in the central Sadriya district, where a car bomb was detonated at an crowded market.
Bombs exploded at around the same time on busy streets in the Shaab, Tobchi, Karrada, Azamiya and Amil areas.
Sectarian violence has surged across the country in recent months, reaching its highest level since 2008.
