The attacks took place south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad

A wave of apparently coordinated bombings in Baghdad and just south of the capital killed at least 29 people and wounded dozens on Wednesday, officials said, updating an earlier toll.

The blasts struck in predominantly Shiite Muslim areas of the capital during morning rush hour, and are the latest set of attacks to hit the Iraqi capital this month.
