Bomb blast shakes Iraqi capital Shooting victims found in Baghdad
(40 minutes later)
A roadside bomb has exploded near the national sports stadium in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, killing at least 10 people, officials say. Iraqi police say they have found in the space of one day 60 bodies of people bound, tortured and shot in the capital, Baghdad.
The bomb in the eastern Shaab district exploded in a parked car during the morning rush hour wounding at least 33. They were found all over the city, from Sunni areas in the west to Shia districts in the east - but most were found in largely Sunni west Baghdad.
Two of those killed were police and there are reports of a second blast. Sectarian killings are not unusual in the city but this is a large number for one day, a BBC correspondent says.
