Dozens dead in Iraq attacks
The attacks on Wednesday mostly targeted police infrastructure and checkpoints [Reuters]
A series of deadly attacks have rocked Iraq, leaving more than 50 people dead and scores more wounded.
The attacks on Wednesday came a day after the number of US troops in the country fell below 50,000.
In Baghdad's deadliest attack, a suicide car bomber targeted the Qahira police station, located in the north of Iraq's capital, killing 15 people and wounding around 58 on Wednesday, Iraqi police sources told Al Jazeera.
The bombing brought down segments of concrete blast wall protecting the police station, leaving a crater three metres in diameter.
Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna, reporting from Baghdad, said: "It does appear the primary targets [of Wednesday's attacks] are police stations, checkpoints [and other] symbols of the attempt to create a system of law and order within Iraq".
On Haifa street, in central Baghdad, 10 people were wounded by an improvised explosive device, or IED.
