Three cars loaded with explosives blew up almost simultaneously. At least one of the cars was apparently driven by a suicide attacker.
One of the cars reportedly targeted a police patrol, another exploded close to a Shi'ite mosque, and the third exploded in a commercial street in central Baghdad.
Elsewhere in Iraq, three U.S. soldiers died in an exchange of gunfire in Al-Ramadi, 100 kilometers west of Baghdad.
Late yesterday three car bombs killed at least 18 people and wounded 48 in Baghdad.
That attack came as donors at a major international conference promised to help the new Iraqi government rebuild the country.
