The toll from a wave of violence in Iraq, including attacks in the capital, rose on Thursday to at least 75 killed and over 200 wounded, officials said.
The unrest on Wednesday included more than a dozen bombings in the capital, with the deadliest attacks targeting Shiite Muslim neighborhoods.
Overall, 71 people were killed in Baghdad and towns just south of the capital, security and medical officials said on Thursday, updating a toll from the previous day. Four others died in attacks in north Iraq.
No group immediately claimed responsibility.
