Six bombs exploded within minutes near Shi'ite mosques across Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 26 people and wounding scores of others, police and witnesses said.
In the worst attack, a car bomb struck people praying outside a crowded mosque in northern Baghdad's Shaab district, killing at least 21 people and wounding 35.
"I saw 15 martyrs," said one Iraqi at the mosque.
The six apparently coordinated blasts occurred outside mosques and prayer centres in and around the capital, including one frequented by followers of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, security officials said.
"I lay the blame for these blasts on the government and Baghdad security officials," said Raad Souar, a politician close to the movement of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
"The reason for the high number of casualties is due to the weakness of security in Baghdad."
A spokesman for the Iraqi Interior Ministry declined to comment on the blasts.
There was no immediate claim of responsibilty for the apparently co-ordinated blasts.
More than 430 Iraqis were killed in June alone, which is the highest death toll for 11 months.
