Near-simultaneous bomb blasts in several Iraqi cities killed 39 people and left 198 injured earlier today, on the ninth anniversary of the U.S.- led invasion of the country.

The violence comes just days before Baghdad hosts a landmark Arab summit and are the deadliest to hit Iraq in nearly a month.

In the capital, a car bomb exploded in a car park opposite the foreign ministry, according to security and medical officials - despite high security in preparation for the March 27-29 Arab League summit.
