Security sources say at least 19 people were killed in several blasts throughout the capital.
In a separate single attack, six suicide bombers allegedly killing at least two dozen-- including themselves -- after storming an Iraqi ministry building.
Social media video that Reuters cannot independently verify shows the aftermath.
