A SERIES of bombings mainly targeting Shi'ite areas of Baghdad has killed at least 21 people in the latest violence to hit Iraq as it struggles with protests and a political crisis.
Three car bombs struck the sprawling Sadr City slum in the north of the city, car bombs exploded in Ameen, Al-Husseiniyah and Kamaliyah in the east, and a roadside bomb blew up in Karrada in central Baghdad, security and medics said.
Another roadside device went off in Saidiyah in the capital's south.
At least 21 people were killed and more than 120 were wounded in Sunday's attacks, the officials said.
Residents of Sadr City were enraged by the bombings, and hospitals in the area were quickly crowded with people searching for relatives.
"What did we do? We're always the victims of conflicts between politicians," one woman shouted.
Ali Kadhim, who owns a shop near the site of one blast, agreed, saying: "They always threaten each other, and it's us who die. The people are always the victims."
And Hussein Mohammed, who was wounded and whose car was destroyed by one explosion, questioned how the bomb could have got past security forces into the area.
"I spent about two hours to enter Sadr City, so how could this car bomb enter?" he asked, his clothes smeared with blood and dirt. "Where is the security?"
Also on Sunday, gunmen killed a police captain in front of his home in Mosul in north Iraq, officials said.
