Yet despite the relative calm, the pace of attacks has quickened of late, with suicide and other bombers killing at least 50 people nationwide in the past week.

The Baghdad explosions started before dawn on Monday, when rockets landed in the heavily fortified Green Zone, where the American and Iraqi government buildings are housed behind miles of blast walls. There were no reported deaths, and officials would not comment on whether anyone was hurt.

An hour later, moments after sunrise, mortar shells landed on a large warehouse at the Dora oil refinery to the city’s south, igniting hundreds of tanks of gas and kerosene.

...

Fifteen minutes after the refinery explosion, an improvised bomb blew up a car in Karada, a vibrant, ethnically mixed Baghdad neighborhood that hugs the Tigris River. Fifteen minutes after that, a missile hit a nearby intersection. No one was hurt in either attack. But two people died in a drive-by shooting that also took place in Karada, at 7:30 a.m.

Half an hour later, mortar rounds landed on a prison inside the Interior Ministry’s sprawling, dusty complex in central Baghdad. Prison medics rushed to tend to the casualties. Seven people died and 23 were wounded.

At 9 a.m., three policemen were wounded in a rocket attack in the affluent neighborhood of Mansour. At 10 a.m., an improvised bomb wounded five people in Baladiyyat, in the eastern part of the city.
