Aftermath of one of the bomb attacks in Baghdad
Twin car bombs have killed over 30 people and wounded more than 100 in the Iraqi town of Hilla, south of Baghdad. The bombs exploded outside a clothes factory just as workers were leaving the plant.
Earlier, dozens of people were killed in a series of attacks which included drive by shootings and suicide bombings on police checkpoints and a market.
At least 65 people died across Iraq in attacks on Monday, the country's most violent day for two weeks.
The day began with a number of drive-by shootings on police and military checkpoints that left at least six dead and dozens injured.
Two bombs also went off in Falluja, killing at least four people.
Those attacks were followed by another double suicide bombing on a market in a town just south of Baghdad.
There were also attacks in Iskandiriya, south of the capital, and in Mosul, north of the capital.
The two car-bombs in Hilla were detonated in the car park of the factory at around 1.30 pm.
Tactics
At least seven drive-by attacks were reported over a two-hour period in Baghdad and one roadside bomb, targeting a military patrol, killed two civilians.
The shootings were carried out by men wielding automatic weapons fitted with silencers.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Baghdad says smaller scale shooting attacks are becoming a more frequent tactic by insurgents as security forces try to prevent the kind of large suicide car bombs that have killed hundreds in the past year.
The bombings in the mainly Sunni town of Falluja, west of Baghdad, killed four people including a police officer and his wife.
Two other civilians were killed in another bomb attack in the city.
In Suwayrah, a village 60kms (37 miles) south of Baghdad, two suicide bombers killed at least 11 people and wounded scores when they blew themselves up in a crowded market.
One bomber was wearing an explosive vest, and the other driving a car bomb, security sources were quoted as saying.
Official figures show that 328 people were killed in Iraq in April, slightly fewer than a year ago.
