In one attack, a bomber detonated an explosive belt among people leaving a Husseiniya, or a Shiite place of worship, killing 10 and wounding 34, the security and medical officials told The Associated Press.
Another bomber hit the checkpoint at the entrance to Shula, killing five people three of them soldiers and wounding 14.
