Iraq: Baghdad bomb blasts kill more than 30
Source: BBC
At least 34 people have been killed in three bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say.
The explosions came just hours before a long-standing overnight curfew was to be lifted.
In the first attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up in restaurant in the predominantly Shia New Baghdad area, killing 22 and wounding at least 50.
More people were killed in attacks on two separate markets, one in the centre and one in the southwest of Baghdad.
