Dozens killed in Iraq bomb attacks

At least 26 people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in central Iraq, police and medical officials say.

Fifteen died when a suicide bomber target a funeral for a pro-government Sunni militiaman in Buhruz, a town about 50km (30 miles) north of Baghdad.

Later, car bombs exploded in four parts of the capital, killing at least 11 people and wounding dozens more.

There has been a surge in sectarian violence across Iraq in the past year, reaching levels not seen since 2007.
