A spate of bombings in Baghdad on Thursday killed at least 17 people and wounded dozens more, shattering a relative calm with deadliest violence in the capital in weeks.
Roadside bombs and explosives-packed cars detonated across a half-dozen neighbourhoods in the north, south and west of Baghdad, underlining persistent security concerns even as international energy companies met in the centre of the capital to bid on nationwide oil and gas exploration blocks.
Overall, 17 people were killed and at least 57 wounded in the attacks, an interior ministry official and two medical sources said. Three others died in shootings in northern Iraq.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
