Iraq violence: Deadly car bomb attacks hit Baghdad

At least eight car bombs in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, have killed at least 29 people in mostly Shia areas of the city.

More than 100 people were wounded by the blasts, police and medics said.

This year has been one of the deadliest since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Although violence has decreased across the country since the peak of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007, bombings are still common. More than 700 people have been killed in July alone.

The bombs, hidden in parked cars, hit markets and car parks in at least seven areas of the city, police say.

The deadliest was said to have hit the eastern Shia district of Sadr City, report say.
