Baghdad: At least seven people were killed and 16 injured as gunmen in three cars opened fire on pedestrians in a southern Baghdad district on Sunday.
There were few details of the shooting, which took place in Zaafariniya, a religiously mixed neighbourhood.
Such drive-by shootings have become rare since US and Iraqi forces launched a crackdown on militants in the capital last year.
The shooting came on the same day that a barrage of rocket or mortar bomb fire hit Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.
Hours after the attack, a suicide bombing rocked an army base in Mosul, north of Baghdad, killing at least 10 Iraqi soldiers and wounding 50 others, including five civilians.
