The aftermath of a car bomb just north of Baghdad.
13 people were killed and more than 50 wounded in 3 bombing attacks in and around the city on Thursday.
Some fear the wave of attacks means a return to widespread sectarian violence in Iraq.
Here, 4 people were killed and 20 wounded in a bombing in the early hours of the morning.
In the deadliest of Thursday's attacks, at least 8 people were killed and 30 wounded when a bomb exploded at the entrance of a Baghdad market in a mainly Shi'ite Muslim district.
In southern Baghdad, a roadside bomb targeting a police patrol killed 1 and wounded 5.
More than 150 people have been killed in June across the country, in attacks targeting mainly Shi'ite pilgrims and shrines.
