Baghdad (ANTARA News/AFP) - Car bombs and explosions killed eight people, including a policeman and two teenage boys, in and around Baghdad on Sunday, the latest in a spate of attacks indicating an apparent spike in unrest.

The six blasts, which occurred between 7:00 am (0400 GMT) and around 10:30 am, came after a series of explosions in the past week killed at least 116 people over a three day period, breaking a relative calm that had settled after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki formed a new government a month ago.
