At least 15 people have been killed and 50 wounded in three car bomb explosions in Baghdad, officials say. Policemen are said to be among the dead in Thursday morning blasts in the Karrada commercial district. One of the blasts went off near a Shia mosque and the third blew up outside a public bath-house or hamam, officials say. The attacks came less than 24 hours after at least 18 people died in car blasts in a Shia district of the city.
