Many die in Iraq 'sectarian raid'
Gunmen in the Iraqi capital Baghdad have killed at least 15 people in a
sectarian attack targeting Sunni Muslims, according to police.
They say militants stopped cars in the Western area of Jihad, seizing
passengers and passers-by, separating Sunnis and shooting them.
There has been an upsurge in sectarian violence in Iraq in recent months.
Sunni Arabs say government-backed Shia militias are behind many attacks.
Officials have denied any involvement.
In other violence in Iraq on Sunday, an army intelligence officer was
shot dead in Karbala, south of Baghdad.
Several policemen and civilians were also killed in separate attacks
around the country.
