Bombings in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and north of the city have killed at least six people and wounded 14 others.
Four of the victims Thursday died in a blast near a bus stop in Baghdad's mainly Shi'ite Hurriyah neighborhood. The explosion destroyed several vehicles and damaged nearby buildings.
Amateur video captured shortly after the blast showed multiple cars engulfed in flames.
A second attack hit a convoy carrying the head of Diyala University, killing two bodyguards.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombings.
The violence comes amid anti-government protests led by Sunnis complaining about treatment under Shi'ite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
