BAGHDAD — Police officials say a series of bombs has targeted political groups across Baghdad, wounding at least 11 people.

Two police officials say the bombs struck Saturday night outside the offices or homes of leaders of at least five political groups, four of which were Sunni.

The attacks come as tensions escalate between the Shiite-led government and Sunnis, after the barring of hundreds of candidates from the March 7 parliamentary elections because of ties to Saddam Hussein.

Police said 11 people were injured in the blasts, mostly bystanders or passing civilians. No deaths were immediately reported. The Associated Press
