Another 28 were wounded by the explosion at a market in Zubaidiya, a mainly Shia town in Wasit province, about 100km (60 miles) south-east of the capital Baghdad. Two policemen and a parliamentary official were meanwhile shot dead in separate incidents in Baghdad. On Tuesday, a series of bombings across Iraq left more than 40 people dead. Most of the victims were killed in the southern town of Diwaniya when an explosives-laden lorry was blown up in a marketplace near a mosque. Other attacks hit the nearby Shia holy city of Karbala.
