Two car bombs exploded in Baghdad this morning, killing at least 31 people, breaking what has been a period of relative calm since the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The biggest blasts in the Iraqi capital in a month occurred as commuters were starting their working week, underlining the challenges facing Iraqi security officials in stabilising Baghdad as US forces end combat operations and Iraq's police and military assume responsibility for protecting the capital.
