At least 19 people have been killed and scores hurt in a series of blasts in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Two bombs claimed at least 10 lives and injured 69 people in a busy market in the al-Shurja district.
Earlier, a bomb hit a minibus and a taxi in the centre of the city, killing at least nine people. Two other blasts targeted police, wounding three.
The attacks come despite increased security in the city, as violence kills dozens every day across the country.
Tuesday also saw an armed raid on a bank in the capital.
Robbers killed three security guards and two bank officials and escaped with a large quantity of money.
The violence came a day after at least 4,000 US troops were deployed on the streets of the capital in an attempt to reduce sectarian killings and kidnappings.
