Source: CNN

Baghdad (CNN) -- Six Iraqis were killed in Baghdad and four others wounded in a burst of assassinations and explosions around the capital on Sunday, officials with Iraq's interior ministry said.

The victims included several peopled tied to Iraq's current ruling government, plus one who had been a military leader under former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

The bloodshed also featured at least one less explicitly political attack, when gunmen shot dead a jeweler and his son as they were opening their store Sunday morning in the Zafaraniya neighborhood in southeastern Baghdad. The assailants stole an unspecified amount of gold and fled, according to officials with Iraq's interior ministry, which oversees police in the capital.

The ministry said in the same neighborhood, a water ministry employee was killed Sunday after a sticky bomb attached to his car exploded.
