Baghdad Shia districts targeted in deadly Iraq attacks
At least 34 people have
been killed in series of bomb attacks across Iraq, several of which
targeted mainly Shia districts of Baghdad, officials say.
Eleven blasts in the space of an hour in the capital left 23 people dead and more than 100 others injured.Bomb attacks also killed at least 10 people in the northern city of Kirkuk.
Iraq has seen a sharp increase in sectarian violence in recent weeks amid growing tension between minority Sunni Arabs and the Shia-led government.
Although the violence is less deadly than that seen during the heights of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007, it is the most widespread since the US military withdrawal in 2011. More than 700 people were killed in April.
