Many of the attacks took place in and around Baghdad and involved car bombs.  More than 100 people were also wounded as a result.

The wave of violence comes five days before Iraqis head to the polls to participate in the country’s first elections since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.
