BAGHDAD, Iraq - A bomb struck a small bus headed to a predominantly Shiite area
in Baghdad on Sunday, killing six passengers and wounding 10, police said.

The bus was en route from the Bab al-Sharqi area to the central commercial district
of Karradah when the explosion occurred at 8:15 a.m., shattering the windows of
nearby stores.

The bomb was left in a bag by somebody who got off the bus, police said.

Sirens wailed as police and ambulances rushed to the area, and rescue workers
pulled the badly burned bodies from the charred bus.

About 45 minutes later, a parked car bomb exploded outside a restaurant in eastern
Baghdad, wounding six people, according to police.
