Nearly 30 other people were injured in Monday's series of attacks, security and hospital officials said.

The blasts appeared to mark a rise in violence in the run up to the planned pullout of US troops from Iraqi towns and cities by the end of June.

In the first attack, a roadside bomb hit a minibus in the Shia neighbourhood of Sadr City, killing three university students.

And isn't that special...we went in there to "help" Iraq's peoples to have "democracy" and what are we leaving? Where is the responsibility for that? I really think we'd all be better off at this point leaving both Iraq and Afghanistan. I realize we've lost many people in this "war" but isn't it time to cut our losses and let these people work out their own problems? Just thinking out loud... antgne
