In pictures: Iraq blasts

At least 50 people have been killed and dozens injured in a series of bomb attacks across Iraq.

In the deadliest blast, some 24 people were killed in an explosion at a busy market in the Shurja district of Baghdad.

The blast happened at about 1000 local time (0600 GMT), when the market was packed with traders and shoppers.

In Baghdad's Karrada district, several police officers were injured when a device exploded at the scene of an earlier blast.

Several vehicles also exploded in towns north and south of Baghdad, causing widespread carnage.

In Burhiz, the mangled remains of a vehicle lay in the street after a device blew up by the side of the road.

The attacks were the latest in a week of violence in Iraq, which has claimed dozens of lives since the weekend.
