A series of car bombs has hit Baghdad province, killing at least 44 people, while 22 died in other attacks, including two suicide bombings in northern Iraq, officials say. Eleven car bombs exploded in eight areas in and around the Iraqi capital on Thursday, killing at least 44 people and wounding more than 120, officials said.
More attacks, including two suicide bombings, were carried out in northern Iraq.
One suicide bomber detonated a vehicle rigged with explosives in a residential area of Al-Muwaffaqiyah, a village east of Mosul that is mainly populated by members of the Shabak minority, killing 15 people and wounding 50.
Another bomber, wearing police uniform, detonated an explosives belt in a cafe in the town of Tuz Khurmatu, killing four people and wounding 27.
Another bomb exploded near the house of a Shabak family in Mosul itself, killing a child and wounding three people, while assailants killed one policeman and wounded a second in an attack in the city and killed another to its south.
The 30 000-strong Shabak community mostly live in a pocket of villages east of Mosul.
