Multiple bombings in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad have killed more than three dozen people hours before the city's longtime curfew was set to come to an end on Saturday.
The attack happened in the New Baghdad section of the city with police saying a suicide bomber killed 22 people and wounded at least another 45.
Eyewitness Mohmed Saeed describes the deadly blast that hit a nearby restaurant.
"The restaurant was full of young people, children and women when the suicide bomber blew himself up, many got killed."
The second attack took place shortly afterward in central Baghdad's popular Shorja market.
Police said two devices detonated 25 meters apart from one another at the market, killing at least 11 people and wounding 26.
Also, at the Abu Cheer market on a Shiite block of southwestern Baghdad, at least four people were killed and 15 wounded when a bomb detonated outside an outdoor food market.
There has been no claim of responsibility for any of the attacks so far.
The incident came ahead of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's decision to lift Iraq's longtime curfew beginning at midnight Sunday.
The Prime Minister himself is still in Berlin, Germany, attending the Munich Security Conference.
