Three car bombs have exploded in central Baghdad, killing four people and wounding 15.

Iraqi police say the death toll was based on initial reports and could rise.

One explosion occurred in a car park near the Iranian embassy, another near the Foreign Ministry and the third close to a popular restaurant.

The attacks took place a week after a series of car bomb blasts in central Baghdad killed up to 112 people.
