Iraqi officials say at least 30 people have been killed in a wave of evening car bombings in commercial areas of Baghdad.
Police said the blasts struck late Saturday in the neighborhoods of Karrada, Baiyaa, Shurta, Tobchi and Zafaraniyah.
Police say the explosions were all caused by car bombs parked in commercial streets. Officers say the bombs went off after the breaking of the daily Ramadan fast when many people are out shopping or relaxing in coffee shops.

The attacks are the latest in a wave of violence that has killed more than 200 people since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

(2,205 posts)FLASHBACK: Bush Awards Iraqis Their Sovereignty Let Freedom Reign!
Bush, whose Iraq policy has drawn criticism abroad and, more recently, at home, was passed a note from National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice that put it this way: Mr. President, Iraq is sovereign.
Bush wrote Let freedom reign! on the note and passed it back, according to White House spokesman Scott McClellan.
