Four people have been killed and two wounded in a roadside bomb explosion near a bus in the east of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
In Balad Ruz, east of Baghdad, another roadside bomb killed two boys selling farm produce from the back of their bicycles.
A passing car was also hit, but the three occupants were only injured.
Ten further bodies were also discovered in Baghdad, bringing the number of corpses discovered by police over the last week to 75.
Concern is growing over the unabated violence in Iraq, although officials in both Iraq and the US are quick to deny that an full-blown civil war is underway.
Amid the continuing unrest, US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has added his voice to other US officials expressing their impatience with the length of time it is taking for Iraqi politicians to decide on a new government.
