At least 31 people have been killed in Iraq as a series of blasts targeted a Shia election rally in Baghdad.

Several people were seriously injured in the attack, which took place at a campaign rally for the Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq party.

The attack comes less than a weeks before Iraqis are due to head to the polls in parliamentary elections.

A statement attributed to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (also known as ISIL) has claimed the group was behind the attack, but the report has not yet been verified.
