Three large bomb blasts in Baghdad have rocked hotels and other prominent sites in the Iraqi capital. Police say the blasts killed at least 11 people.
One of the bombs went off close to Baghdad's Sheraton hotel, while another appeared to target the Babylon Hotel. A third bomb exploded in central Baghdad.
All three explosions happened in quick succession and sent large clouds of smoke into the sky. Officials say at least 21 people were wounded.
Several coordinated bomb attacks have erupted in Baghdad since August, killing hundreds of people. Iraqi authorities have expressed concern that insurgents may stage high-profile attacks to disrupt national parliamentary elections scheduled for March 7.
