Interpol has confirmed it has received information about possible attacks by al-Qaeda cells in the US and Europe.
The global police agency's office in Baghdad received information about the alleged threats on Wednesday.
Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani earlier told the Associated Press that militants had confessed suicide attacks were planned for the Christmas period.
The suicide bombing in the Swedish capital Stockholm last weekend was one of the alleged plots revealed, he said.
Officials say they are 98% sure the bomber was Iraq-born Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who grew up in Sweden and was living in the UK.
Abdaly owned a car that exploded in Stockholm, shortly before the blast nearby which killed the bomber. Two people were also injured.
Officials believe the bomber intended to kill "as many people as possible", possibly at the central train station or a popular department store.
