Bagdad: 3 bombs kills 36

Ninety-two were also injured in the near-simultaneous blasts in two markets in the Shia district of Sadr City.

The first two blasts occurred at the Ula market, followed by a third in the Kayara market. A fourth was defused.

Sadr City, a stronghold of radical cleric Moqtada Sadr, has been relatively free from violence recently.
