Iraq officials say bombings kill at least 14

      
Officials say separate attacks in Iraq have killed at least 14 civilians and wounded dozens.             
Police say the deadliest of Tuesday's attacks took place near the eastern city of Baqouba, where three car bombs targeted outdoor markets, killing at least 10 civilians and wounding 34. Baqouba, a former al-Qaeda stronghold, is 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad.                  
In the town of Latifiyah, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad, a bomb hidden inside a coffee shop killed four and wounded 14.           

Three medical officials confirmed the figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.               

Violence in Iraq has intensified since April to levels not seen since 2008. More than 4,000 people have been killed over the past five months.
