Police say the deadliest of today's attacks took place near the eastern city of Baqouba, where three car bombs targeted outdoor markets, killing at least 10 civilians and wounding 34.
Baqouba, a former al-Qaeda stronghold, is 60 kilometres northeast of Baghdad.
In the town of Latifiyah, about 30 kilometres south of Baghdad, a bomb hidden inside a coffee shop killed four and wounded 14.
Three medical officials confirmed the figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to release information.
