A wave of apparently coordinated bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, has killed at least 68 people.
The bombings are the worst in months — and follow within days of the withdrawal of US troops.
They come amid fears of rising sectarian tensions as the unity government faces internal divisions.
