At least 27 people have been killed in a series of bomb blasts in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The car bombs and roadside explosions hit mainly Sunni Muslim districts of the northern city.

No group claimed responsibility for Wednesday's attacks.

The bombings are the latest in a wave of attacks since April.

Earlier this week, more than 50 people were killed by car bombs in Baghdad.

The attacks have intensified fears Iraq is sliding into the kind of sectarian conflict that killed thousands in 2006-2007.
