Fifteen people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in Iraq.
An Iraqi provincial health official said at least 11 Shiite pilgrims died when two car bombs exploded near Dujail, 50 miles north of Baghdad, as they were heading to a shrine in the town of Samarra.
Raed Ibrahim, head of the Salahuddin provincial health directorate, said more than 60 other people were injured.
Earlier, another car bomb killed four Shiite pilgrims as they were heading to shrines in the south of the country.
Shiite pilgrims are a favourite target for Sunni insurgents who seek to undermine the country's Shiite-led government.
