Iraq: More suicide bombers in Baghdad

At least 26 people have been killed in four car bombings in Baghdad, the US military has said.

The situation remains confused, but the blasts happened in quick succession around the Iraqi capital during morning rush-hour.

The first explosion rocked the Australian embassy, followed by blasts at a police station, an Iraqi military complex and a bank.

The attacks come just 11 days before Iraq is set to hold national elections.
