A bomb has exploded inside a minibus in eastern Baghdad and killed at least five people.

At least 11 more people were injured when the bomb went off in the largely Shiite neighbourhood of Baladiyat near the Shia slum of Sadr City.

Insurgent bomb attacks have continued in Baghdad despite a massive US and Iraqi military crackdown since February aimed at reining in the bloodshed in the capital.
