A series of car bombings targeting a Shiite mosque and markets in the Iraqi capital killed at least 17 people on Friday, officials said.
In the deadliest attack, a parked, explosives-packed car detonated near the al-Mubarak mosque in downtown Baghdad’s Karradah district, killing eight people and wounding 18 others, police said.
Cars later exploded in two outdoor markets, one in Nahrawan, the other in Bayaa. The attacks killed nine people and wounded 23, according to police.
