At least 32 people have been killed and dozens of others hurt after a series of car bomb attacks and two shootings across Iraq.
The explosions mainly targeted police checkpoints and no-one has yet claimed responsibility.
The most deadly attacks were in Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad, where bombs in three cars killed 11 and injured 24, including several police officers.
In the capital, a suicide car bomb and two parked car bombs went off, killing eight people including a police officer and wounding another 11.
Another blast targeted a bus carrying Iranian pilgrims as it passed through the town of Madaen, about 20 miles southeast of Baghdad, killing two passers-by and wounding another 10, including seven Iranians.
A suicide bomber in a car blew himself up in the city of Kut, 95 miles southeast of the capital, killing four policemen.
Another blast near a public market in Khan Bani Saad, 20 miles northeast of the capital, killed one civilian and wounded several policemen.
Two policemen died when a car bomb went off in the town of Balad Ruz, 55 miles northeast of Baghdad.
In Mosul, 240 miles north of Baghdad, a parked car bomb and two roadside bombs blew up separately, killing a civilian and wounding six.
The violence comes after 102 prisoners, including 47 convicted members of al Qaeda affiliate the Islamic State of Iraq, escaped from a prison in Tikrit on Thursday.
A suicide bomber detonated a car bomb outside the prison, which was then attacked by gunmen. Sixteen security force personnel were killed in clashes.
The interior ministry said four of the fugitives had been killed and 23 captured, as Iraqi forces continue to hunt for the others.
Unrest in Iraq has eased since its height in 2006-2007 when sectarian fighting killed thousands of people.
But Sunni Islamists and the al Qaeda affiliate still launch regular attacks, seeking to undermine the Shi'ite-led government.
