A bomb has exploded on a minibus in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing at least twenty people and wounding about eighteen others.

Witnesses said a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the bus in the mostly Shi'ite neighborhood of Shaab on Monday. Police say the minibus attack followed a separate car bombing outside the Iraqi Defense Ministry, which destroyed 13 cars and wounded one person.

Sunni insurgents have frequently targeted Shi'ite bus passengers in the ongoing tit-for-tat sectarian killings that are tearing at the fabric of Iraqi society.
