Most of the explosions have resulted in more injuries than casualties, but at least 7 people have died in the violence as Shiites make their way to visit the burial site in Karbala of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, and one of Shiite Islam's most revered figures.
Two other attacks saw a government official in Samarra killed by a suicide bomber who hid his explosives under the wheelchair he was using, and 4 police officers killed in Mosul when a convoy came under gunfire.
