| Thirty killed in Baghdad attacks | |
| (30 minutes later) | |
| At least 30 people have been killed in shootings and car bomb attacks in Baghdad, Iraqi officials have said. | |
| In northern Baghdad, at least 15 people died and several were injured when gunmen attacked a bus carrying civilian employees of a Shia religious group. | |
| Shortly afterwards, at least 15 people were killed and some 25 wounded in three car bomb blasts near a petrol station in a south-western district. | |
| Meanwhile, the US army said one soldier was killed in Baghdad on Monday. | |
| It said five other soldiers were injured when gunmen attacked a US military patrol in the Iraqi capital. | |
| 'Civil war' | |
| The victims of the bus attack in northern Baghdad were employees of the Shia Endowment - a body that oversees religious sites and mosques. | |
| The gunmen first set off a car bomb before spraying the bus with bullets. | |
| The car blasts in the south-west of the city happened at about 0945 local time (0745 GMT) in a mixed Sunni and Shia area, police said. | |
| Iraq has been gripped for several months by daily sectarian violence between the Shia and the Sunni communities. | |
| On Monday, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan told the BBC the violence was now "worse than a civil war". | |
| The Iraqi government dismissed Mr Annan's suggestion, saying life was much worse under ousted leader Saddam Hussein. |
