A bomb planted inside a minibus exploded in Baghdad's Shi'ite Sadr City
neighbourhood on Sunday, wounding seven people, police sources said.
Sunni insurgents have stepped up bombings of buses in recent weeks, stirring
already high sectarian passions.
A bomb inside a minibus in Sadr City earlier this week killed two people and
wounded five.
Sadr City, a sprawling slum in eastern Baghdad, is a stronghold of radical
Shi'ite cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr, a growing political figure in
the ruling Shi'ite coalition.
