BAGHDAD, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Three cars bombs exploded in quick succession near a fuel station in a religiously mixed area of southern Baghdad on Tuesday, killing 16 people and wounding 25, an Interior Ministry source said.

The attack in the Bayaa area was the latest of a number of multiple car bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital, including the bloodiest bombing since the U.S. invasion, which killed more than 200 people two weeks ago.
