Coordinated blasts destroyed at least four buildings in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday, killing at least 28 and wounding at least 62, civil defence and police sources said.
A suicide bomber also struck near the former British embassy in central Baghdad, an Interior Ministry source said.
The building blasts took place in the Shula and Chukook districts of northwestern Baghdad, the al-Shurta al-Rabaa area of southwestern Baghdad and the Alawi district in the centre of the city, the sources said.
The blasts hit the capital two days after coordinated suicide car bomb attacks on foreign embassies killed 41 people and wounded more than 200 others.
Gunmen attacked a village south of Baghdad and killed 24 people on Friday.

obama usa pres
This is Obama's doing ,are you having fun yet
As expected
They're back! As we profess to leave this will get worse. I still see Iraq as a US military anchor for many years to come. Who is behind this wave of activity? Some may be attacking to get us out. Others are attacking to convince us to stay. What a damn mess. Thanks to the idiocy of the Bush Administration. And the "W" stands for...anything but withdrawal. I suppose war is the best answer, unless you include wickedness.
