At least 47 people have been killed and more than 200 wounded in separate bomb attacks near the Iraqi city of Mosul and in the capital Baghdad.
In the deadliest attack, two booby-trapped trucks exploded before dawn in the village of Khaznan, east of Mosul, leaving at least 28 people dead and 138 wounded.
35 houses were destroyed in the village, which is home to members of the Kurdish Shabak community.
In Baghdad, two car bombs went off early this morning as day labourers were gathering looking for jobs.
The first bomb, which was hidden inside a bag of cement, exploded at Hay al-Amel in the west of Baghdad. It killed seven people and injured 46.
The second attack, a car bomb in Shurta Arbaa in the north of the city, killed nine people and injured 36 others.
A third bombing attack on a market in the southern suburb of Saidiyah killed three people and injured 14.
On Friday, a powerful car bomb blast killed at least 37 Shia civilians near a mosque in Mosul in a wave of attacks that also killed ten people in Baghdad.
The number of violent deaths fell by a third last month to 275 from 437 in June, following the pullout of US forces from urban areas.
