BAGHDAD, May 7 — A series of car bomb attacks in Baghdad and the Shiite Muslim holy city of Karbala killed about 30 Iraqis early Sunday, police and witnesses said, while an Interior Ministry source reported that 51 bodies had been found in the capital since Saturday morning.

An attacker detonated a car bomb at an Iraqi army checkpoint in the Sunni Arab neighborhood of Adhamiyah in northern Baghdad, killing at least six Iraqi soldiers and three civilians, hospital and Defense Ministry officials said.

Shrapnel and blood covered the area, near the Ibn al-Haitham College of Education. At least four vehicles were damaged.
