Attacks across Iraq, including more than a dozen car bombs, killed at least 46 people on Sunday while the head of Baghdad's provincial council escaped an assassination attempt on his convoy.
The violence was the latest in months of unrelenting bloodshed, the country's worst since 2008, that has sparked concern Iraq is slipping back into the all-out sectarian war of previous years that killed tens of thousands.
Authorities have imposed tough restrictions on movement in the capital and elsewhere, and carried out wide-ranging operations against militants, but insurgents have pressed their attacks.
