Multiple Iraq blasts kill dozens

The inside ministry stated 13 locations have been assaulted, including al-Amil within the south from the city and Halawi and Karrada nearer to the center.
The bombings would be the worst in several weeks - and stick to the withdrawal people troops.
They are available among fears of rising sectarian tensions because the oneness government faces internal divisions.
It wasn't immediately obvious who had been behind the attacks.
Iraq's year-old energy-discussing government is within turmoil after an arrest warrant was released for Sunni Vice-Leader Tariq al-Hashemi on terror charges.
The whole al-Iraqiyya group, the primary Sunni bloc in parliament, is boycotting the set up in protest. It accuses Iraqi Pm Nouri Maliki, a Shia, of monopolising energy.
Mr Hashemi declines the costs. He's presently in Irbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, underneath the protection from the regional government, but Mr Maliki has required they provide him up.
Latest world news states in the present heated political climate many Shias might find the explosive device attacks as Sunni functions of revenge for that charges Mr Hashemi faces.
