BBC News

At least 60 people have been killed and 131 injured in two car bombs in a Shia district of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police sources have said.
The blasts ripped through a market in the city's New Baghdad area. Two people died in another blast in Sadr City.

It has also been revealed that two US soldiers were killed while on patrol in Baghdad on Saturday. One was shot and the other died when a grenade was thrown at his vehicle.

The blasts came a day after US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Baghdad and said the security operation had got off to a good start.
