**Three large explosions have gone off in quick succession in the centre of Baghdad, say witnesses.**At least one of the blasts was near foreign embassies. It is not clear if there are any casualties or what caused the explosions in the Iraqi capital.
They shattered a period of relative calm in the city after last month’s parliamentary elections.
The blasts come two days after at least 25 Sunnis were killed in an execution-style attack at a village near Baghdad.
