At least 57 people have been killed in a series of car bombs targeting mainly Shia areas in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, police say.
Many more were wounded as at least a dozen bombs hit busy shopping areas and markets in the city.
The violence comes amid a recent marked rise in attacks linked to growing political and sectarian tension.
It has raised fears of a return to the levels of sectarian violence seen in 2006 and 2007, in which thousands died.
