At least 31 people have been killed and 71 injured during three bomb blasts in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

Local police are reported as saying an explosion occurred inside a car before a suicide bomber then detonated another device in the crowd of people who had gathered to help.

The blasts occurred during Monday morning rush-hour in the Kasrah section of Azamiyah, northern Baghdad.

An exact death toll is still unknown, with police unable to confirm how many were killed in both attacks.

While violence overall is significantly down in Baghdad compared to 2006 and 2007, there has been a string of bombings in Baghdad in recent weeks.
