Three suicide car bombings have killed more than 80 people in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk. At least 150 people were also injured as a result of the explosions.
Local police say the first attack targeted a Kurdish political office.
The second, about 20 minutes later, was at an outdoor market nearby.
Another bomb killed a police officer.
Iraqi government officials have said that Sunni insurgents are beginning to head further north out of Baghdad as a result of U.S. military offensives.
