Spokesperson for the Iraqi health ministry, Ziad Tarek, said 57 people were killed and 176 were injured in 10 bombing attacks that rocked nine neighborhoods of the capital on Thursday morning.

The attacks were carried out in the Allawi, Bab al-Muatham and Karrada districts of central Baghdad, the Adhamiyah, Shuala and Shaab neighborhoods in the north, Jadriyah in the east, Ghazaliyah in the west and Amal and Dura in the south.
The deadly incidents in Iraq took place at a time that the country is experiencing a critical situation.

On Monday, the Iraqi interior ministry issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi after three of his bodyguards made confessions of taking orders from him to carry out terrorist attacks in the country over the past years.
Hashemi has denied allegations of involvement in acts of terrorism.
