Bagdad: 3 bombs kills 36

Three car bomb attacks have killed at least 36 people in Baghdad, bringing the total killed in the day to more than 55, according to Iraqi officials.

Ninety-two were also injured in the near-simultaneous blasts in two markets in the Shia district of Sadr City.

The first two blasts occurred at the Ula market, followed by a third in the Kayara market. A fourth was defused.

Sadr City, a stronghold of radical cleric Moqtada Sadr, has been relatively free from violence recently.
