Three bombs exploded in Shi'ite parts of Baghdad on Monday, killing 25 people, police and medical officials said, continuing a wave of attacks targeting Iraq's majority religious group.

Baghdad's largest Shi'ite neighborhood, Sadr City, was rocked by two blasts: a bomb in the late afternoon that killed three people near a marketplace, and a car bomb at a police checkpoint that killed 16 people and wounded 30, according to medical and police officials.

In Kahdimiya, in western Baghdad, a car bomb killed six civilians and wounded 21 others at the main checkpoint to the district, police and medical officials said.
