Bombs in Baghdad killed six people on Saturday night, capping a deadly day in which at least 33 people died across Iraq, officials said.
A bomb hidden in a bicycle outside a Sunni mosque killed three worshippers and wounded eight others leaving evening prayers at the Omer Bin Abdul Aziz mosque just north of Baghdad, police said.
A half hour later, three policemen died nearby while responding to an explosion under a bridge in the predominantly Christian al-Ghadeer neighbourhood in the capital's east, officials said.
A second bomb killed them. Eight people were wounded in the blasts.
The casualties were confirmed by Baghdad hospital officials.
